Phase 1 - Training
As any project involving data acquisition, it is necessary to train one or more focal points so that the data are reliable and mainly collected in the same way at all sampling points. After the Oceans Decade workshops in Brazil, the scientific community and citizens came to the conclusion that we needed to collect data on plastic and microplastic pollution in the coastal zone, an area as dynamic as the tides. So how to do it? Well, with this project we present ways to solve this gap. Training people capable of collecting data in the most diverse priority points for conservation.
Below are the photos of the 1st Group qualified for the collaborative monitoring of microplastics in Itajaí, which had the support of INIS - Sustainable Institute of Itajaí and CEA- Itajaí - Environmental Education Center and received a total of 30 registrations. This same training will now be repeated on Thursday, 03/23 in Bombinhas, also with the support of the Secretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Fishermen's Community and environmental agencies and will be more focused on the entire fishing community. The second phase, called Data Acquisition, occurs concurrently.
Check out some pictures from the first stage and stay tuned for the next training
