Abstract: Abstract Climate change and human activities are global challenges with remarkable impacts on oceans and marine resources. Raising awareness on these challenges can importantly contribute to the sustainable development of all countries. However, global development begins with local development, where knowledge is spread to formulate effective responses to global challenges. In this context the contribution of public institutions is fundamental in raising awareness in civil society, thus bringing scientific knowledge outside academia.
