Activities
The Center has conducted research in the areas of coastal and oceanic monitoring, estuarine dynamics, environmental observation, territorial analysis, and data science. The work includes continuous monitoring of the coastline, in coordination with municipal services, allowing for close observation of changes occurring along the coast. The celebration of the first year coincides with the launch of the municipal coastal monitoring project, developed with the support of the Environmental Fund.
The Center also monitors phenomena associated with rising sea levels and the potential consequences for riverside communities and primary producers, with particular attention to Carolina rice and salt, two endogenous products dependent on the environmental balance of the region.
