Abstract
Ocean literacy is an understanding of the ocean and its influences. As a maritime nation and the worlds largest archipelago country, the education systems in Indonesia should contain ocean literacy. Based on scientific publication indexes such as Google Scholar and Scopus, there is no known research on ocean literacy in Indonesia. This study tries to translate the International Ocean Literacy Survey v4 into Bahasa Indonesia and validate its content to ocean scientist. A trial was conducted on first-year college students with a science major at the high school level. Preliminary results indicate that most of them have difficulty answering ocean literacy questions.
