Learning about the ocean environment is a life-long process rooted in a web of ecological, social and spiritual relations. The aim of this CD-ROM is not to teach all there is to know about navigation. It gives people a taste of the wealth of knowledge still surviving in the Pacific region. It encourages young people to go into their own communities to find out more to renew ties with elders and, by doing so, to take part in (and pride in) a voyage of revival.

The CD-ROM includes 70 videos, 41 stories and accounts, 40 images and diagrams, of which 11 are animated, in addition to numerous maps, photos and texts.
