Educação Ambiental no Eco Museu Natural do Mangue - Ecomunam, Fortaleza/CE.

Abstract

The mangrove is a coastal ecosystem and suffers from environmental impacts which are harmful to this biome, especially due to the misuse of these natural resources, so it must be protected and make the population aware of its importance for marine life and humanity itself. This report refers to the activities monitored and carried out by the academic during the supervised internship at the Eco Natural Museum of Mangue, located in Sabiaguaba neighborhood, in Fortaleza - CE. The EcoMuNaM promotes environmental education in an interactive and collaborative manner through educational lectures and guided tours of the mangrove trail, building an environmental awareness in all spheres of society, and promoting a better quality of life for all. The museum also carries out reforestation and cleaning actions on the mangrove swamp, which is extremely important for the preservation of this ecosystem and the others that depend on it. After the internship, it was observed that environmental education and other actions promoted by the Eco Museum were very efficient for the preservation and recovery of this ecosystem. Still, it was concluded that the internship was relevant in professional and personal growth as a Fishing Engineer, putting into practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom.
