Abstract

Maritime education and marine environmental literacy are important agendas in supporting coastal ecosystem sustainability and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, environmental communication plays a strategic role as a means of building public understanding, awareness, and participation in marine issues. Mass media, digital media, and public discourse function as spaces of representation that influence how the public understands the importance of the sea, coastal resources, and environmental threats. This study aims to analyze the role of environmental communication in maritime education with an emphasis on the dimension of marine literacy. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Scopus articles in the 2020–2025 period, focusing on the integration of communication theory, maritime education, and environmental literacy. The results of this study are expected to provide a map of research trends, study gaps, and conceptual models that connect environmental communication, maritime education, and ocean literacy. The contribution of this study not only enriches academic studies in the field of communication science but also supports practical strategies in building public awareness of ocean sustainability.
