In 2019, two members of the Culture Océan team, Carolyn Scheurle and Hervé Claustre, launched the “The Ocean” Collection. Together with Emily King and Laura Lorenzoni, they now co-edit this Collection in Frontiers for Young Minds, a non-profit, open-access scientific journal designed especially for children.
Published throughout the “Ocean Decade”, the collection spans a wide range of ocean-related scientific fields. The educational resources it provides explain key concepts and highlight recent advances and discoveries 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.
