The Observadores da Natureza para o Desenvolvimento Ambiental das Ilhas Oceânicas (ONDA ILOC) intends to empower the citizens of oceanic islands regarding the identification and resolution of socio-environmental problems of the islands through science, promoting bottom-up and decentralized processes of environmental management with greater potential for sustainability.
The engagement of the population on the conflicts regarding human occupation and maintenance of the balance of marine ecosystems is critical for the advancement of conservation strategies and for the emancipation of citizens. The Brazilian oceanic islands are natural laboratories with great economic, strategic, and ecological value. The Fernando de Noronha and Trindade and Martin Vaz islands, have continuous human habitation by residents, tourists, and military that need to be effectively included and informed about the local scientific knowledge, and thus contribute to the long-term conservation of marine biodiversity.
