Abstract(s)
Marine litter is claimed to be one of the most meaningful environmental crises of the century. Education that
supports behavior change is a tool to tackle this problem. However, there is a lack of research linking educational
initiatives and marine litter issues. A literature review was conducted through a bibliometric and content analysis
to explore the state of knowledge regarding educational actions. The results revealed that 2019 was the year with
the highest number of publications and that 83.4% of the documents were collaborative efforts. Concerning
educational approaches, hands-on and technological activities are being explored to raise awareness and stimulate behavior change. Students and questionnaires represent, respectively, the most common audience and
evaluating method. More integrative actions and respective long-term methodological triangulation evaluation
were identified as necessary in future studies. This paper is expected to contribute to innovative knowledge in the
area by identifying the main gaps in the literature.
