Abstract
Marine Environmental Education (MEE) is a vital activity, since the marine environment is impacted by industrial and technologies involved in this sector. MEE is in strong connection with marine engineering. The players from this industry have to comply with environmental protection protocols and conventions. A marine cluster is a good way of approaching issues specific to the exploitation of resources of the sea. In the present, a particularity of marine pollution is that in enclosed seas (such as Black Sea is) and on coastal areas, the pollution is higher than in the open ocean. In order to fight with this reality, it is also vital to increase the public environmental awareness throughout specific education, not only to train specialists in this respect. This paper is providing the pylons on which MEE relies. From this paper will succeed how the objectives of MEE (awareness, knowledge, attitude, skills, participation) and its specific actions (environmental education and training, involvement, bringing people together) are supported by a marine cluster. The most important result of this study can be stated as: processes developed within MEE will enforce the involvement of specialists in solving marine pollution issues and will rise the environmental consciousness of communities, in a framework provided by a cluster oriented towards MEE.
Highlights
A cluster is a union, an association between different entities, geographically concentrated and interrelated in a certain social field of activity, seeking to achieve a common goal [1]
In Europe, marine clusters are seen as important entities due to the fallowing realities [8]: - approximately 40% of the world fleet belongs to our continent; - Europe is in the top of coastal vacation destination list; - European yacht builders lead this market, European dredging and RES companies as well; - European maritime research, inland shipping and fishing are in the head of international hierarchy
For a successful Marine Environmental Education (MEE) activity in the Black Sea Region, we provide the actions of MEE which must be developed within the Black Sea Marine Cluster
Summary
A cluster is a union, an association between different entities, geographically concentrated and interrelated in a certain social field of activity, seeking to achieve a common goal [1]. The relevance and the objective of this study consist in the integration of Marine Environmental Education activity in the classic tasks of a cluster, established in the Black Sea region, in order to form a new mentality of the people from this region and to strengthen specialist’s cooperation, for solving actual pollution issues, and to prevent future ones. In this respect, in the following we will describe the pylons on which MEE relies, and the objectives of MEE. For a successful MEE activity in the Black Sea Region, we provide the actions of MEE which must be developed within the Black Sea Marine Cluster
