This book provides a broad overview of how the promotion of ocean and coastal literacy is being planned, applied and evaluated in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions with a great diversity of cultural, educational and social realities. It discusses a range of target groups, from children to adults; formal and informal strategies; and various promoting players, such as groups/institutions.

O FIT Count é um protocolo de ciência cidadã que tem como objetivo monitorar as visitas de polinizadores às flores. Ao realizar o monitoramento através do protocolo FIT Count, a(o) cientista cidadã(o) poderá compreender quais as espécies de plantas e grupos de visitantes florais que existem em suas redondezas, compreender quais os horários do dia ou períodos do ano em que há recursos florais e visitantes florais presentes em uma determinada localidade e contribuir para o banco de dados de monitoramento de longo prazo do projeto. Uma importante característica dos dados produzidos através do protocolo FIT Count é a informação sobre a quantidade de polinizadores em determinado local, ou seja, sua abundância. Com essas informações, é possível detectar se há manutenção ou declínio nas populações dos polinizadores e planejar ações de conservação quando necessário. Contamos com você para entender melhor a situação dos polinizadores no Brasil. Vamos começar?
