Oceans are intimately connected with human life. They have always been a source of sustenance, and barriers to and highways for travel and trade, and have contributed greatly to the construction of human cultures and economic development, particularly during the recent genesis of multinational corporatism and its dependence on inexpensive low-tech transportation in a continually globalizing world. For island nations like Taiwan, marine literacy education for all citizens is a necessity. Basic marine literacy education requires a pool of marine-literate teachers. In what is considered a milestone for gradually encouraging the idea of developing a strategy for integrating human life and its ubiquitous environmental enclosure, the Ministry of Education implemented marine literacy courses in normal universities of education in 2008. This study presents only the process and some partial results. A more in-depth investigation is needed within the coming decade.
