Escola Azul joins the celebrations of World Ocean Day (June 8). This year, we are preparing two webinars for June 7 (Friday): one for students and the other aimed at teachers. Both will be held in Portuguese only.
Seagrass Meadows: An Oasis of Biodiversity – 11h00
Did you know that in Portugal there are ecosystems with a biodiversity comparable to that of tropical forests? And that these are true forests of underwater plants, which live submerged in salt water? And did you know that these plants can contribute to our quality of life?
This webinar is aimed at students and will be led by Nuno Magalhães, Coordinating Teacher of one of our first Blue Schools: the João da Rosa School, in Olhão.

The Role of Citizen Science in Fighting Marine Pollution – 18h00
Beach cleaning campaigns are very common to raise environmental awareness. These activities are increasingly repeated across the country, involving people of all ages. But are we on the right path for a real paradigm shift? What is the role and power of citizen science in fighting marine litter?
Aimed primarily at teachers, this webinar will feature Filipa Bessa, a researcher from the University of Coimbra.
