Abstract


Humans rely heavily on the sea for their survival. The ecosystem and the health of the sea should be protected. In fact, the great intensity of the cruise's pollution-related consequences makes it vital for students to have their own marine environmental awareness so they can understand how the sea is affected by pollution. This study aims to analyse the factors affecting marine environmental awareness by using method Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis in order to describe linkages connection between variable observation and latent variables. The research results show that the most influential factor on marine environmental awareness is knowledge of the marine environment. Intention guard health environment sea affects positively marine environmental awareness. Perceived Behavioral Controls affect positively intention guard health environment sea and beyond influential towards marine environmental awareness. Responsibility feeling will influence ecological behavioral intentions. Marine environmental awareness is also influenced by subjective norms. Attitudes towards the marine environment have little effect both on the intention to maintain the health of the marine environment and on marine environmental awareness.
