2 1 century is the century of the ocean. China has a vast sea area and rich marine resources. However, in the history of our country, the awareness of the ocean is very weak, and the awareness of understanding, developing and managing the ocean is insufficient. Nowadays, in order to improve the development and utilization of the ocean and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China has put forward the policy of accelerating the construction of a maritime power, and the promotion and implementation of the policy cannot be separated from a large number of marine talents. Therefore, it has become an important topic to carry out the education of ocean view, promote the formation of national ocean view and cultivate marine talents.

The word "ocean view" seems grand, but it can be simply understood as how human beings know the ocean and how to coexist with it. Humans really began to understand the ocean in the 14 and 15 centuries. At this time, Western Europe began a touching "era of great navigation", led by Spain and Portugal, and mankind began to explore the ocean and explore the world. Columbus said: "As long as we have a continent of hope in our hearts, the wind and waves will be defeated by us." It can be seen that in the beginning, most people took the ocean as the object of conquest. For the ocean, people have more natural awe in their hearts. However, since mankind began to really explore and understand the ocean, the culture about the ocean has been developing continuously, and a more systematic "ocean view" has also emerged and developed. Nowadays, the new concept of "coexistence with the sea" put forward by the famous Japanese marine ethnographer Akimichi has been recognized by more and more people. He pointed out that human beings are not the masters of the ocean, but one of the creatures born in the ocean. We should treat other marine peoples with a more just and humble attitude in order to coexist and coexist. With the development of ocean consciousness, ocean view education is also developing, taking shape, and has formed a more consistent understanding in the world. For example, Ma Yong suggested that activities to enhance people's knowledge of marine culture, enhance their marine awareness and improve people's marine behavior all belong to marine education in a broad sense.
