Marine Sciences study the interactions between land and ocean, ocean and atmosphere, ocean and cryosphere and recognize, respect and include local and indigenous knowledge. A discipline that does not only consider scientific subjects, but above all seeks interdisciplinarity between science, geography, economics and society.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8 offset-lg-2\">\n\t\t\t\t \t                <a href=\\\"https:\/\/oceandecademed.org\/en\/marine-sciences\/\" class=\"c-btn btn-oceanblue\" target=\"\"><br \/>\n\t\t              <span class=\"text\"><br \/>\n\t\t                Learn more about it\t\t              <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t              <span class=\"wave\"><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t          <\/a>\n\t\t          \t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"b-content bg-darkblue py-60\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8 offset-lg-2\">\n<div class=\"mb-30\">\n<h2>There is a sea to make<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"text mb-60\">\n<p>For the ocean of tomorrow we organize initiatives, programs, projects, actions but we are constantly looking for the contribution and creativity of everyone.
