The images and sounds of marine life will make known the different types of organisms found in the Portuguese coast. It is intended to: demonstrate how marine organisms live, feed and reproduce; point out which major threats and issues affect them; identify the goods and services they provide for local communities; show potential benefits of which one can enjoy and the traditional uses rooted in the local culture. The information disclosed to the public will allow people to become aware of their natural and cultural heritage, so they can appreciate it and protect it better.
