NOMEC works with partners to educate the next generation of diverse ocean explorers, policy makers, communications experts and scientists. An inclusive science, technology, education, and mathematics (STEM)-literate and ocean-literate workforce is fundamental to ocean innovation and for the Nation to best harness the potential benefits gained from the NOMEC Strategy. The products of the NOMEC Strategy will be incorporated into education and outreach to support an ocean-literate society, develop a blue workforce (those employed in ocean-related industries), and inspire the public.
