SEACleaner, instead, is a project carried out by a National Research Centre – Institute of Marine Sciences ISMAR-CNR– aimed for monitoring the impact of marine debris and for raising awareness on the importance of appropriate management strategies for solving this problem; this project involves higher secondary school students trough “work-related learning” internships. “Percorsi nel BLU”/“Blue Paths” and SEACleaner are actually cooperating and sharing some goals, methodologies and sampling sites of the coastal Tuscan and Ligurian Protected Areas. The cooperation is giving interesting and important educational outcomes and scientific results such as: updated checklists of benthic communities, high frequency of surveys that can allow to identify significant seasonal patterns (especially for beach litter accumulation rates) but also synergy among very different partners (marine parks, researchers, local authorities, citizens, environmental education centres, teachers and students) that represents an effective push-pull impulse for maintaining a long lasting engagement of citizens in scientific research.123 20 - PublicationOpen AccessBest- Practices in Marine Science Literacy: a Report of sample activities in a Long School-Training(2017-10-07)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; “Blue Paths” is a Pilot Project of “Best Practices” in Marine Science Literacy, carried out by a Science Teacher of a Unified School District in La Spezia, ISA 2 “2 Giugno”, aimed for teaching the monitoring techniques of coastal flora and fauna in Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea. Thanks to a Partnership between Schools (ISA6) Marine Parks, local authorities (Life on the Sea ONLUS); Research Centers, the project promotes the scientific literacy in an incremental and continuous School-Training period, from the Kindergarten to the Secondary School, in order to enrich the students curricula and to create an innovative awareness in School Community for belonging to a Global Citizenship that involves the engagement of students, parents and volunteers to raise awareness for the safeguard of coastal environment. “Blue Paths” is a Vertical Curriculum in Marine Science and involves students with a key role as Educators for the peers groups and as Researchers in data collection Surveys. The project promotes a gradual scientific literacy through stimulating a conscious attitude towards environmental issues and the growth of scientific skills up to the Higher School and University levels, encouraging the creation of motivated “Team” of students . This paper highlights the results of a slow and vertical literacy scholar process reached through the gradual learning in recognition techniques of beached and submerged benthic species carried out with: hands-on activities on the beach with the support of a Child-friendly BIO-Guide (student of 5-6 years); International School Meetings (Erasmus+) or local events, Orienting activities in Robotic field (student of 13-17 years) ; “Young -Monitoring Campaigns” (students of 9-13 years) ; Direct and Indirect Visual Census activities in Snorkeling (student in age 11-13 years) or with a Remote Operated Vehicle .122 111
