Other initiatives by DG MARE also contribute to ocean literacy such as:

• The European Atlas of the Seas which is an easy and fun way for professionals, students and anyone interested to learn more about Europe's seas and coasts, their environment, related human activities and European policies. It aims to raise long-term awareness of Europe's oceans and seas, in the context of the EU's integrated maritime policy.

• A European event to engage youth in developing ideas for the sustainable use of the marine environment and resources while minimizing the negative impacts of human activities, was the Hack4Oceans. This 2-day Youth Innovation Event took place on 21 and 22 April 2021.  It gave young participants across Europe the possibility to learn, explore and co-create opportunities for prosperity through ocean conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. The event brought together undergraduate students and professional stakeholders coming from the private sector, policy-making and academia. 
  A second edition, called Hack4Oceans II, was organised in on 23 and 24 November 2022 in the framework of the European Year of Youth.
