Since its establishment in 2016, individuals and organisations have been brought together by the Irish Ocean Literacy Network (IOLN) to work towards the IOLN vision of achieving an Ocean-literate society across the island of Ireland. Over the last 10 years, the Network has been transformed from an informal organisation into a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG). A range of funding sources, including seed funding from national state bodies, in-kind and financial member contributions, and EC Horizon funding as part of the Prep4Blue consortium, has also been engaged. In 2021, an external review of the Network was conducted, and feedback on its structure and actions was provided by 24 members. In response to this review, along with input from the steering committee, a new strategy, vision, mission, and governance structure for the Network was established by the IOLN Board of Directors and Secretariat. This newly formalised Network aims to develop an all-island community of practice, focusing on local initiatives that respond to a range of drivers, such as climate change, population growth, loss of habitat and biodiversity, sea-level rise, blue growth initiatives, and collaborative actions to influence marine policies. This chapter outlines the evolution of the IOLN and highlights a range of challenges and solutions which have been part of its journey.

摘要

Since its establishment in 2016, individuals and organisations have been brought together by the Irish Ocean Literacy Network (IOLN) to work towards the IOLN vision of achieving an Ocean-literate society across the island of Ireland. Over the last 10 years, the Network has been transformed from an informal organisation into a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG). A range of funding sources, including seed funding from national state bodies, in-kind and financial member contributions, and EC Horizon funding as part of the Prep4Blue consortium, has also been engaged. In 2021, an external review of the Network was conducted, and feedback on its structure and actions was provided by 24 members. In response to this review, along with input from the steering committee, a new strategy, vision, mission, and governance structure for the Network was established by the IOLN Board of Directors and Secretariat. This newly formalised Network aims to develop an all-island community of practice, focusing on local initiatives that respond to a range of drivers, such as climate change, population growth, loss of habitat and biodiversity, sea-level rise, blue growth initiatives, and collaborative actions to influence marine policies. This chapter outlines the evolution of the IOLN and highlights a range of challenges and solutions which have been part of its journey.
