Measure description |
The erosive process combined with the effects of climate change has led to complex situations, particularly along the west coast of the continent, affecting the integrity of consolidated urban settlements, but also coastal natural systems with important wildlife habitats and natural resources. Addressing the problems associated with coastal erosion must take account of the causes of coastal erosion, which are essentially linked to the existence of sedimentary deficits. The location of port areas in river estuaries or within wet-protected rods, and the need to ensure that they are operational, open up opportunities for these areas to play an active role in the management of the sedimentary balance of the coastline, and it should be ensured that inert materials extracted as part of dredging carried out have as their destination and objective – where sediments are of compatible quality – the enhancement of sedimentary traffic, in particular by introducing them into depths that allow them to be deployed in the active strip of coastal drift, including the emerging beach, in coastal stretches that are more vulnerable to risk. The preparation of the payment is therefore of the utmost importance in order to ensure that there is a network of sites for sediment immersion in coastal waters that serves these purposes. 1 – pre-selection of dipping sites (DGRM and APA); 2- preparation of the proposal for the payment; 3- creation of Geoportal for the Payment; 4- alignment of the proposal for payment with the opinions of the Advisory Commission; 5 – public consultation of the payment; 6- preparation of the final version of the payment; 7- update of PSOEM after approval of the payment by SmPC

The measure aims to raise the awareness of children and young people, as well as the rest of the educational community, of the knowledge and preservation of the oceans, contributing to the promotion of more informed, responsible and participatory citizens and more aware of the strategic importance of the sea for Portugal. This general objective will be implemented through national, regional and local initiatives, and in particular through the Blue School programme, an educational programme of the Ministry of Economy and Sea, whose mission is to promote Ocean Literacy in schools. This programme seeks to distinguish and guide Portuguese schools in promoting structured and transversal Ocean Literacy projects, creating an Ocean Literacy Community that integrates schools, the sea sector, municipalities, universities and other entities active in marine education, seeking to integrate the various marine education actions carried out in Portugal into a single integrated strategy that can involve all actors involved in promoting ocean literacy in Portugal. Efforts are being made to encourage schools to work on relevant issues in their communities and to strengthen the link between the sea sector and the educational community. Tasks: 1. Provision of interdisciplinary educational resources adapted to the different education cycles and framed in the curriculum guidelines; 2. Provide accredited training for teachers of all stages of education; 3. Integrate the various marine education actions carried out in Portugal into an integrated strategy that can involve all actors around the promotion of Ocean Literacy; 4. Create conditions for the Ocean to be included in the national curriculum.

The measure aims at implementing the use of satellite imagery to acquire marine knowledge. The main objective of its development is to produce maps showing the geographical distribution of the variables that can be identified with satellite images (e.g. temperature, colour, radar) needed to characterise the marine environment, in particular as regards the mapping of marine habitats and the identification of pressure areas and priority risk areas. This measure is intended to contribute to: 1. Mapping of marine habitats; 2. Improving the traceability of marine pollution: identification of areas at risk of oil spills; 3. Identification of pressures (fishing and navigation); 4. Selection of indicators to characterise ecosystem variation.

Progress description |
Continente:Para implementação desta medida contribuiram os projetos: ""A ponte entre a escola e a ciência azul"" (2013-2016); e ""Kit do Mar"" (2008-2017). As tarefas 1, 3 e 4 da Ficha de Medidas encontram-se terminadas. As tarefas 2 e 5 encontram-se em execução. Madeira: Ações permanentes no âmbito das competências de variados departamentos governamentais da RAM. Açores: Implementada através de iniciativas, no âmbito de vários projetos: - Programa de “Divulgação e Sensibilização sobre o Ambiente Marinho” (PEAMA) - conceção, construção e colocação de placas informativas em Áreas Marinhas Protegidas (AMP), nomeadamente nas ilhas de Sta. Maria, Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo e Canal Faial-Pico, Graciosa. Em áreas marinhas protegidas da Rede Natura 2000 e outras áreas classificadas, a definir com a administração no início de cada ano de vigência do programa; Construção e colocação de placas informativas, em locais definidos, sobre códigos de conduta e normas em vigor para o exercício das atividades marítimo turísticas;divulgação,sensibilização e educação científica e ambiental marinha no âmbito de projetos de investigação e de monitorização em que a DRAM esteja envolvida; - Programa de “Monitorização de Lixo Marinho em Praias OSPAR e Campanha de Sensibilização Junto das Frotas de Pesca” (PEAMA) - campanha educacional e de sensibilização sobre o lixo marinho. - Projeto INTERREG MAC LuMinAves MAC/4.6d/157 – a DRAM organizou, em 2018, o workshop “Recuperação de Aves Selvagens” em parceria com os Centros de Reabilitação de Aves Selvagens (CERAS) dos Açores e o Centro de Ecologia, Recuperação e Vigilância de Animais Selvagens (CERVAS).- Projeto INTERREG MAC OCEANLIT MAC2/4.6d/302 – a decorrer, serão promovidas campanhas de sensibilização e de educação ambiental sobre a problemática do lixo marinho e difusão de boas práticas nos diferentes setores.A DRAM coordena ainda duas campanhas de sensibilização e conservação ambiental, nomeadamente, a campanha SOS Cagarro e a campanha Açores Entre-Mares, sendo que esta última consiste na dinamização de diversas atividades que têm como base a promoção do conhecimento e da utilização sustentável do Mar dos Açores. O Porjeto LIFE-IP Azores Natura tem uma componente importante de educação ambiental para o meio marinho com duração até 2027. |
Medida desenvolvida no âmbito do Projecto iFADO. Neste Projeto foram criadas as plataformas (cf. http://ifado.maretec.org/ e https://ifado.eofrom.space/) que permitem obter, respetivamente, a distribuição geográfica das correntes oceânicas e variáveis químicas relevantes derivadas do modelo numérico MOHID, e indicadores estimados a partir da cor do oceano (concentração de clorofila, turbidez) observada com o satélites Sentinel 2 e 3. |
