Oceano para todos, uma visão diferente da Oceanografia

Oceanography as a science is still not very widespread in Brazilian society, making it difficult to strengthen the ties between society and the ocean. Thus, the creation of methodologies associated with new teaching techniques, improved with the help of technology, may build a more inclusive society and provide the experience of oceanographic phenomena for all. The extension project Ocean for all, executed between March and July of 2016, performed an experience in oceanography to the elderly members of the Associacao Catarinense para Integracao do Cego (ACIC) in Florianopolis (SC). In order to do so, a methodology was created to pass on knowledge about oceanography in its biological, geological, chemical and physical aspects to the visually impaired. During the execution of the experience, as well as the development of the methodology, problems in the coastal marine environment with anthropological origin were presented.
