Ocean literacy survey: headline findings
Headline findings from an online survey with the public in Scotland on the topic of ocean literacy - exploring the public's understanding of the marine environment. It is part of a wider project covering England and Wales.
Visiting the marine environment
In the last 12 months, 56% had visited the marine environment. 32% had not visited in the last 12 months and 10% had never visited.
A quarter (26%) of respondents travelled up to 2 miles, a similar proportion (23%) between 3 and 10 miles, and a third (32%) travelled between 11 and 50 miles. Just 17% travelled more than 50 miles (Figure 29).
