The sea within me: connected ecosystems to strengthen ocean culture in Brazil

Geosciences, Journalism, Life Sciences

Brazil is widely known as one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, but despite having a marine territory of 3.6 million km², much of the focus is on terrestrial ecosystems. Focusing on connectivity, the project involves creating two products: (i) a report on the threats to marine biodiversity in Brazil today, and (ii) a scientific, data-driven illustration narrating the journey of a PET bottle cap thrown into a river in the Northeast interior to the sea, showing the impacts along the way and at the final destination, where the cumulative effect of human actions results in multiple threats.

The illustration will be presented in an interactive report to be published by Ambiental Media.
