Objectives and competencies

Develop and implement educational programs on the conservation of marine ecosystems:

Design interactive training modules adapted to different audiences (students, fishermen, tourists) that promote sustainable practices and the protection of marine biodiversity.

Design communication strategies to raise awareness about marine environmental problems:

“Identify key audiences (fishermen, tourists, industry, government) and tailor messages to maximize impact and encourage action.”

Assess the impact of human activities on the coastline:

“Analyze current environmental legislation and its application in the management of coastal areas, identifying critical compliance points and proposing improvement measures.”

Promote sustainable practices in activities related to the sea:
