In April 2025 the International Pacific Marine Educators Network (IPMEN) celebrated its 20th anniversary at our ninth biennial conference in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. At this conference our coalition of marine educators, scientists, and traditional practitioners concentrated on the dialogue between Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) perspectives and Ocean Literacy, highlighting Asia-Pacific examples. Links to conference details and session videos can be found at IPMEN 2025 and the conference statement is at Takao Declaration. Finally, next chance to get together will be the Asian Marine Educators Association AMEA 2025 Conference in Japan – August 4 to 9, 2025. Details can be found at AMEA 2025.
