The participants took from junior high school, senior high school, university and also citizens. Using reliability, validity, description analysis, t-test, correlation and regression analysis find that. (1) active and relevance of marine experiential learning are positive related to marine activities engagement; (2) marine safety cognition is positive related to marine activities engagement; (3) active of experiential learning is positive related to marine safety cognition; (4) marine safety cognition mediate the relationship between experiential learning and marine activities engagement. The results and suggestions could be the reference of future research and practices.
