Azores, Ocean Literacy, Science Communication, Sea Observatory of AzoresAbstract
This article is about the Sea Observatory of Azores (OMA), a non-profit technical, scientific, and cultural institution, created in 2002 by several biologists of the University of Azores, which was born to disseminate research in marine science and promote ocean literacy. It consists in describing the activities developed by OMA, as an entity of dissemination of knowledge about the sea and pointing out some of the main challenges it faces, in the context of discussions about the future and protection of the ocean. For this purpose, we situate the discussion around the definition of sociology and literacy of the sea, crossing it with that of science communication.References
