The Programme
Caroline Schio is the creator of the citizen-science programme called Monitoring Mirim Costeiro, implemented since 2012 in schools from Garopaba, Brazil. In addition to its implementation, since 2019, in different Brazilian coastal municipalities, it began to be replicated in Portuguese schools from 2021, through a partnership protocol signed between Brazil’s Instituto Monitoramento Mirim Costeiro and the Portugal's Blue School programme.The international replication of this programme aims to develop a long-term Network of Guardians of the Ocean among students from different countries.
