Living by the coast strengthens people’s connection with the ocean and encourages environmental stewardship. In inland and urban areas, such direct interactions are less frequent, so that mediated interactions become more important.  Murals, striking pieces of street art painted on walls, are common worldwide and are promoted via art festivals, city marketing, and beautification projects.

This chapter brings together reflections from more than 20 authors with diverse backgrounds, exploring the interconnections between street art, citizen science, and ocean conservation. Insights include the multiple interpretations of artworks and the ability of diverse local communities to connect with art and nature through these pieces. While recognising the importance of artistic freedom and the value of art in itself, we also come to the conclusion that muralism has shown great potential to increase community engagement via citizen science, raise awareness and promote marine conservation. Drawing from practical experience, several contributors discuss how this potential can be amplified by incorporating immersive technology or fostering education and interactions among the involved community. Through this transdisciplinary exercise, we underscore the power of street art and citizen science as means of expressing, connecting, inspiring, educating, and deepening our understanding of the human-ocean relationship for a sustainable ocean future.

摘要

Living by the coast strengthens people’s connection with the ocean and encourages environmental stewardship. In inland and urban areas, such direct interactions are less frequent, so that mediated interactions become more important.  Murals, striking pieces of street art painted on walls, are common worldwide and are promoted via art festivals, city marketing, and beautification projects. They express, inspire, educate, illuminate, and they evoke crucial issues including society and ocean relationships. This chapter brings together reflections from more than 20 authors with diverse backgrounds, exploring the interconnections between street art, citizen science, and ocean conservation. Insights include the multiple interpretations of artworks and the ability of diverse local communities to connect with art and nature through these pieces. While recognising the importance of artistic freedom and the value of art in itself, we also come to the conclusion that muralism has shown great potential to increase community engagement via citizen science, raise awareness and promote marine conservation. Drawing from practical experience, several contributors discuss how this potential can be amplified by incorporating immersive technology or fostering education and interactions among the involved community. Through this transdisciplinary exercise, we underscore the power of street art and citizen science as means of expressing, connecting, inspiring, educating, and deepening our understanding of the human-ocean relationship for a sustainable ocean future.
