An education program of aquatic marine environment based on the theory of the learning cycle. As defined in the AMEE, an aquatic environmentally literate person can observe his or her surrounding aquatic marine environment in a scientific way, inquire the related environmental problems and the well-being of human communities, grasp the required comprehensive knowledge such as aquatic marine environmental literacy, make responsible decisions and take responsible actions based on his or her outdoor learning experiences and the comprehensive knowledge, and has the capacity to convey them to as many people as possible effectively.

Abstract
Bioeconomic research aims at developing a more resource-efficient and sustainable society that uses renewable biological resources to produce food, materials, and energy. Economic supremacy causes many problems, such as global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. In order to build a more sustainable society with resource efficiency, it is necessary to discuss the institutional framework, which includes environmental assessment, environmental monitoring, biological resource management, human resources management, and education. This chapter examined the effectiveness of forest-river-ocean nexus-based education for community development (FRONE) in encouraging the sustainable use of biological resources. Combined with the adaptive cycle, FRONE is considered to have the potential to promote the sustainable use of biological resources. In the future, further bioeconomic research from the point of view of the education system will be needed.
