What this video covers
The Cátedra Unesco para a Sustentabilidade do Oceano, led by biologist Alexander Turra, collaborated with Maurício de Sousa Produções to create an educational comic book featuring the Turma da Mônica characters to promote ocean literacy.▶ 0:24 The publication aims to engage children and youth with concepts of ocean sustainability, inclusion, and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.▶ 5:46 The project involved a multi-institutional effort, including five Brazilian ministries and the Interministerial Commission for Resources of the Sea, with sponsorship from Repsol via the Lei Rouanet.▶ 8:42
The comic book, which includes interactive puzzles and games, addresses the importance of ocean preservation and the concept of the "Blue Amazon."▶ 16:19 While the project initially emphasized the singular "ocean" to highlight global connectivity, it incorporates the plural "oceans" to acknowledge regional ecological and geopolitical differences, such as the South Atlantic Zone of Peace and Cooperation.▶ 10:53 The team printed 198,000 physical copies for free distribution to schools and institutions, and the digital version is available on the UNESCO website.▶ 15:15 Future plans include five additional comic books covering topics like the Antarctic, deep-sea environments, and oceanic islands.▶ 12:55
