Abstract: China possesses a vast maritime area and a long-standing oceanic history. Marine culture is not only an integral part of Chinese civilization but also a crucial pillar supporting the country's social and economic framework. At present, countries worldwide recognize the marine economy as the "blue engine" of economic growth and have prioritized the cultivation of marine-related talents. Western developed nations, in particular, emphasize fostering widespread marine cultural awareness among their populations. However, in China, young people's awareness of maritime culture remains relatively weak, which poses significant challenges to advancing the national strategy of maritime power. The underlying causes primarily include insufficient attention to marine culture education, the lack of structured marine education programs within schools, and the limited scope of popularization efforts. Therefore, to enhance young people's understanding and appreciation of marine culture, it is essential to strengthen marine culture education and implement policies effectively through comprehensive planning and adequate funding. Additionally, advancing theoretical research on marine culture and innovating methods of public engagement, education, and communication are critical to cultivating high-quality marine talents who can support the successful implementation of the maritime power strategy.
