Students examining beach pollution in Italy

| Description |
English: The coastline of the Natural Regional Park of Migliarino, San Rossore, Massaciuccoli (Tuscany, Italy) is characterised by a large sandy beach mainly formed by sediments coming from River Arno. Sampling activities for Project SEACleaner have been carried out in the most restricted area of the park.
Students are collecting and classifying anthropogenic marine debris on the beach of the Natural Regional Park. Nowadays, the urgent need of long-term data series for solving environment related problems (such as biodiversity loss, beach litter etc.) can be satisfied by the so-called "citizen science", i.e. involvement of citizens and their active participation in scientific projects. This kind of scientific research, partly or wholly conducted by amateur or nonprofessional scientists, has been demonstrated in several studies to be effective both from the scientific and social point of view, since it brings people closer to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines, fills the gap between who produces science and technology and who benefits from it. Nevertheless, motivating and enabling all these volunteers in a long-term commitment to a scientific problem represents an essential problem. Project SEACleaner is a perfect example on how this long-term commitment can be guaranteed trough a comprehensive educational path that involves (mainly 1° and 2° Grade) students, not only in data collection but also in problem definition and data analysis. Project SEACleaner tries to identify and implement effective approaches for improving STEM teaching and learning - for students from 4 to 18 - by harmonising the existing educational plan, and prioritising hands-on learning to increase student engagement, interest, and achievement in the STEM fields. Project SEACleaner is a pilot project carried out in collaboration with Enterprises, Schools (ISA 2 “2 Giugno” in La Spezia) and Research Centres (such as the National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR-ISMAR)) and other organisations such as the Liguria Cluster for Marine Technologies (DLTM). Afrikaans: Die kuslyn van die Migliarino- Natuurlike Streekpark te San Rossore, Massaciuccoli (Toskane, Italië) word gekenmerk deur 'n groot sandstrand wat hoofsaaklik deur sedimente uit die Arno-rivier gevorm word. Steekproefaktiwiteite vir Projek SEACleaner is in die mees afgesonderde area van die park uitgevoer. Studente versamel en klassifiseer hier antropogeniese mariene rommel op die strand van die Streekpark. Deesdae kan die dringende behoefte aan langtermyn-datareekse vir die oplossing van omgewingsverwante probleme (soos verlies aan biodiversiteit, strandrommel, ens.) deur sg. "burgerwetenskap" vervul word, d.w.s. betrokkenheid van burgers deur aktiewe deelname aan wetenskapsprojekte. Hierdie soort wetenskaplike navorsing, wat deels of geheel en al deur amateur- of nie-professionele wetenskaplikes verrig word, is in verskeie studies gedemonstreer om effektief te wees, sowel vanuit die wetenskaplike as sosiale oogpunt, aangesien dit mense nader aan Wiskunde-, Tegnologie-, Ingenieurswese- en Wetenskap- oftewel WTIW-dissiplines bring. Dit vul die gaping tussen wie wetenskap en tegnologie produseer en wie daarby baatvind. Nietemin, om al hierdie vrywilligers te motiveer en te bemagtig om 'n langtermyn-verbintenis tot 'n wetenskaplike probleem te aanvaar verteenwoordig 'n wesenlike probleem. Projek SEACleaner is 'n perfekte voorbeeld van hoe hierdie langtermynverbintenis gewaarborg kan word deur omvattende opvoedkundige leiding wat (hoofsaaklik Graad 1 en 2) studente betrek, nie slegs by data-insameling nie, maar ook by probleemdefinisie en data-ontleding. Projek SEACleaner poog om effektiewe benaderings vir die verbetering van WTIW-onderrig en -leer te identifiseer en te implementeer – vir studente van 4 tot 18 jaar – deur die bestaande opvoedkundige plan te harmoniseer, en om praktiese leer te prioritiseer om studentebetrokkenheid, belangstelling en prestasie in die WTIW-velde te verhoog. Projek SEACleaner is 'n loodsprojek wat uitgevoer word in samewerking met Ondernemings, Skole (ISA 2 "2 Junie" in La Spezia) en Navorsingsentra soos die Nasionale Instituut vir Geofisika en Vulkanologie (INGV), die Instituut vir Mariene Wetenskappe van die Nasionale Navorsingsraad (CNR-ISMAR) en ander organisasies soos die Liguria-konglomeraat vir Mariene Tegnologië (DLTM). |
