Two members of the Culture Océan team, Carolyn Scheurle and Hervé Claustre, initiated “The Ocean” Collection in 2019. Since then, together with Sanae Chiba , Emily King  and Laura Lorenzoni , they co-edit this Collection of the online magazine Frontiers for Young Minds. The Collection will run throughout the “Ocean Decade” and its broad scope covers numerous ocean-related scientific fields. It provides resources that explain key ideas that are fundamental to understand (core concept) and highlights new research on the cutting edge (new discovery) in Ocean sciences.

Published articles are written by scientists for kids and teens aged 8 to 15 years. And, for all articles the review of the manuscript is done by kids/teens with the help of a science mentor. Placing kids and teens in the role of the reviewer during the peer review process empowers them to think critically, ask the right questions and give constructive feedback to the authors. It also is an occasion for the science mentor to share experiences in science research and give further insights in scientific communications.
