visit the ADOPT project webpage [in portuguese]
The "Adopt a Seagrass Meadow" project is an initiative of the Algarve Center of Marine Sciences (CCMAR), sponsored by the Oceanário de Lisboa, and carried out by Gobius Comunicação e Ciência,
which aims to create opportunities for society involvement in
monitoring and protecting seagrass meadows, which are one of the most
vulnerable marine ecosystems of the Portuguese coast.
In adopting a seagrass meadow, the general public is helping to protect
and keep under surveilance this unic ecosystem. One of the main goals
of the project is to increase people awareness of the importance of
seagrass meadows.
