The activity Digitalization of Marine Literacy for the Alpha Generation in the IKN Nusantara Environment focuses on developing literacy through a digitalization approach. This activity aims to increase teacher and student knowledge regarding marine science and technology as well as strengthen the existing science community through ITB collaboration with Mulawarman University. It is hoped that the use of digital media can expand elementary school students' knowledge about marine ecosystems and related environmental issues, such as the impact of pollution and maintaining the sustainability of coastal ecosystems. The activities carried out include an introduction to the bathymetry of marine waters, marine biota, and the function of coastal ecosystems through books and interesting and digitalized games. This program also prepares teaching materials for teachers in East Kalimantan to increase knowledge and teaching about the surrounding marine ecosystem. The output produced from this activity includes digital materials in the form of books and educational game websites that can be used to teach the basics of oceanography and marine ecosystems to the Alpha Generation. Through this digital approach, it is hoped that the Alpha Generation can interact better with the environment and have a high awareness of the importance of maintaining marine ecosystems so that they are sustainable. The form of this activity is outlined in the form of a product/website containing the Blue Sea Book, Marine Animal Coloring Book, and Indonesian Marine Bathymetry games, and displayed in digital form which can be accessed via the following barcode:
