DESCRIPTION:Speaker:Miriah M. Russo Kelly\, Associate Professor\, Departmen
 t of the Environment\, Geography & Marine Sciences\, Southern Connecticut 
 State University \n\nTopic: The Ocean Identity Initiative is a collaborati
 ve research agenda developed in response to calls within the UN Ocean Deca
 de to “restore society’s relationship with the ocean” and strengthen
  society-ocean connections. In response to this global priority\, and in c
 onsideration of ocean program needs\, the Initiative advances Ocean Identi
 ty (OI) as a novel construct for examining how individuals engage with\, e
 xperience\, and understand ocean environments through the lens of human id
 entity. Drawing on interdisciplinary foundations in environmental psycholo
 gy\, identity theory\, place connectedness\, and marine social science\, t
 his research conceptualizes OI as a multidimensional construct encompassin
 g the cognitive\, emotional\, and behavioral dimensions of individuals’ 
 relationships with the ocean. This presentation will highlight existing an
 d ongoing Ocean Identity research projects\, introduce emerging research f
 indings and tools\, and identify opportunities for collaboration across di
 sciplines and sectors. Resources and approaches with potential application
 s for ocean-focused programs\, initiatives\, and interventions will also b
 e shared. The presentation will conclude by exploring future directions fo
 r Ocean Identity research and its potential to advance understanding of hu
 man-ocean relationships\, strengthen the social science foundations of oce
 an sustainability\, and foster greater collaboration across ocean research
 \, policy\, education\, and practice.
