Thanks for sharing this, im pleased you found it thought provoking. Ocean literacy is people's understanding of what the ocean does for them, and what they can so for the ocean - helping people make informed decisions about ocean issues. But it doesnt include tidal literacy - yet!

2. Watch the tide. Stay alert and monitor your surroundings at the beach. Watch the direction of the incoming tide, as well as its speed and strength.

Key messages for coastal visitors include:
1. Know when low water is at your chosen destination. This can be very different depending on where you are – remember that every beach is different. Avoid islands, isolated rocks, sand banks and headland walks on a rising tide.

But this may have led to 15% of the UK and Irish population getting caught out by the tide, and revealing that they have at some point been cut off by the tide or nearly so.

We introduce the term “tidal literacy” as “an understanding of how the tide works and how to apply this knowledge to stay safe on the coast, on and in the water.” Don't be embarrassed if you don't get the tide - 4 in 10 people have no basic understanding of the tide.
