First steps

A tranquil underwater scene featuring seagrass and sun rays filtering through the ocean water.

Seas and oceans are essential for life on Earth. In this course, we will explore their importance, learn about marine forests and their role in the balance of the planet, and focus on Posidonia oceanica, an underwater plant key to the biodiversity and health of the Mediterranean.

Through interactive activities and resources, we will learn how to protect these critical ecosystems.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for Primary and Secondary School (ESO) students who wish to learn more about the importance of the oceans and Posidonia oceanica. Through interactive content, games and practical activities, students will learn about marine forests and how they can contribute to their conservation.

It is ideal for schools that want to incorporate environmental education into their school program, encouraging learning through exploration, ecological awareness and action for the planet.
