Abstract

This paper presents a didactic proposal for sustainability and marine ecosystems through the inquiry-based model combined with intercultural approaches. The aim is to develop learning experiences that enhance environmental awareness and scientific inquiry skills. In this context, activities such as sampling, field study, model building and real data analysis are proposed, seeking to understand changes in the marine environment and foster positive attitudes towards sustainable management.
