Let’s get to work
O oceano precisa de ti
Reverter a degradação das pradarias marinhas não é tarefa apenas para cientistas. É um trabalho coletivo - e no RESTORESEAGRASS acreditamos que cada par de mãos faz diferença. O voluntariado é o motor que transforma a investigação científica em impacto real no oceano.
Working side by side with scientists
Throughout the project, there are many ways to get your hands wet—literally. Volunteers work directly with the scientific team on tasks as diverse as collecting data, caring for plants, or participating in planting campaigns. Every action counts.
Scientific Monitoring
Assisting with the collection of environmental data on the condition of seagrass beds and the species that live there. A way to contribute directly to the project’s scientific foundation—without needing to be a scientist.
Plant Nursery
At CCMAR, volunteers help care for seagrasses in tanks and aquariums before their reintroduction into the sea. Behind-the-scenes work—essential to the success of the restoration.
Active Restoration
Direct participation in planting campaigns—in the intertidal zone or while diving. The most physical work and, for many volunteers, the most rewarding.
Science Outreach
Participation in environmental awareness and education initiatives. Because protecting seagrass meadows starts with letting more people know they exist.
You don’t need to be a scientist to make a difference
The volunteer program is open to everyone—from students and certified divers to local residents and environmental enthusiasts. What you really need is a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and resilience for fieldwork: sun, mud, and water included.
Students
Hands-on experience and direct involvement in marine research and conservation. A unique opportunity to learn outside the classroom.
Environmental enthusiasts
and Local Residents
Do you want to protect your region’s natural heritage? Your local knowledge and your involvement make all the difference.
Certified Divers
For specific underwater planting activities. Requires valid certification and active insurance — but the reward is working in a living seagrass meadow.
More than volunteering — an experience of growth
All volunteers receive specialized training in marine biology and conservation, a certificate recognizing their contribution, and the opportunity to join a network of people and organizations that share the same values. But the greatest reward is something else: the satisfaction of having done something real for the ocean.
