CARING FOR THE COAST

`CARING FOR THE  COAST´

This Project belongs to the Aldea Programme. Aldea is an environmental educational programme of  the educational community  of the Andalusia Government.

Objectives

The objectives of the Caring for the Coast Programme are that our students  are in touch with their coast in order to know its wealth, the causes of its degradation and the attitudes and behaviour which can contribute its conservation.

Tasks

The  Andalusian students from different schools will assess the state of the environment state in all the Andalusia coasts. Students will do a day of coast watch. That day the students will travel around the beach in little stretches of 500 m and they will  fill in a  survey about the state of the coast.
