Instituição líder:
Monitoramento Mirim Costeiro – Brazil
The Monitoramento Mirim Costeiro (Junior Coastal Monitoring Program) is a pioneering citizen-science initiative where students become scientists and leaders in environmental preservation within their community.
By directly engaging students with current ocean issues, the program aims to transform them into ocean citizens and local agents of change. Students participate in all research steps, including data collection, analysis of information, and communication of results. The project is gradually expanding worldwide and has already benefited more than 5,600 students and 270 teachers across 20 municipalities in Brazil and Portugal.
Our goal is to broaden our program internationally and establish a Global Junior Ocean Guardian Network. By 2030, we aim to expand our program to 100 more schools worldwide and develop a digital training platform to enable more teachers to implement it locally.
