With the oceans, with Barceloneta
At a critical moment for our planet, the Institute of Marine Sciences stands as a beacon of hope and action in Barceloneta. With the growing threat of climate change, coastal cities like ours face unprecedented challenges. The ICM is not only dedicated to scientific research but also seeks to connect the community with the ocean, promoting a deeper understanding of our marine environment.
Ocean Project Agora
One of the most exciting initiatives the ICM is undertaking is the Ocean project Agora . Its goal is to create an inclusive space where science and citizenship intertwine. Through digital activities and practical experiences, it seeks to empower residents to become key players in the fight against climate change. This approach not only fosters education about the importance of the oceans but also promotes awareness and collective action.
Innovation is at the heart of Ocean Agora . Interactive digital tools will be developed to allow citizens to explore ocean and climate data, facilitating inclusive access to knowledge. In addition, physical spaces will be created where people can gather, reflect, and collaborate on projects that benefit both the community and the environment.
With our neighborhood
The Institute is also committed to strengthening the social fabric of Barceloneta, highlighting its maritime heritage and fostering a sustainable local economy. By involving artists, educators, and community groups, Ocean Agora seeks to create a movement that not only protects our oceans, but also enriches the lives of everyone in La Barceloneta.
In short, a profound transformation is emerging in the relationship between science and the neighborhood. Initiatives like this pave the way toward a more sustainable future, where everyone can contribute to the health of our oceans and, therefore, to the health of our planet. Let’s join this exciting adventure!
