Módulo 4: Trabalho de campo sobre carbono azul

Os cidadãos podem certamente contribuir para a contabilização do carbono azul, efectuando avaliações de campo do carbono azul seguindo um protocolo científico normalizado e depois de receberem formação de profissionais. Neste módulo, apresentamos um protocolo de medição do carbono azul sedimentar a ser realizado por professores e seus alunos. Esta iniciativa teve início no âmbito de uma rede de educação ambiental para os serviços dos ecossistemas costeiros, estabelecida na região do Algarve, sul de Portugal, por investigadores do Grupo de Investigação em Ecologia Vegetal Marinha do Centro de Ciências do Mar do Algarve, em conjunto com escolas locais, ONGs e Centros de Educação Ambiental.
