Although oceans play a vital role for human being , most of people are not aware what ocean gives us and why it is essential to protect and conserve marine resources. Even human settlement around coastal zones is not much aware about importance of the oceans. Maharashtra state located on west coast of India is endowed with a coast line of 720 KM and large population is dependent on marine resources.

But students, fisher and public in large is unaware of ocean acidification, hazards of plastic to marine life, and effects of human disturbances to coastal ecosystems. It is need of time to spread awareness of the oceans among the masses is very important.

Therefore a program on ocean communication is planned to make people aware of the ocean wealth and its protection.
