Ocean Night at Galician schools

Ocean Night’ school activities framed in Ocean Night project intend to share in Galicia the scientific knowledge about ocean with basic education, secondary education, futher education and sixth form centers.

To run that challenge the researchers and technicians at the Institute of Marine Research-CSIC will perform masterclasses, workshops and experiments at schools. 

IIM Staff will carry their scientific projects and research lines to Galician classrooms sharing the knowledge wich they are specialists. 

At these workshops, students will learn to: identify species from Ria de Vigo, get to know the role of marine species in the trophic chain, understand the upwelling water system in the Rías Baixas, find out the importance of the waves impact on key species for Galicia (for example, the mussel), know the situation of vulnerable marine systems, identify bacteria and learn to work with them, among other topics of great interest.

Cristian Bastias Urbieta

  • Marine Science student at the University of Vigo. Having grown up in a coastal town and belonging to a family of fishermen led him to strengthen very strong ties from an early age with the sea and the mountains. His passion for the sea, developed through the practice of diving (Advanced Open Water Diver) and apnea led him to take a degree in Marine Sciences and later also to train as a recreational boat skipper (PER). In his desire to transmit his interest and raise awareness among the youngest through environmental education, he carries out his professional practices at the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) with the aim of training in this field. During these practices he develops  of the STRAUSS research project school workshop, with which he collaborates in this project.
