At CIMA (Atlantic Center for Environmental Research, S.L.), we want to show you what we do—both in our offices and beyond.

On this page, you’ll find a series of short videos called "Things We Do at CIMA", which will help explain what we do and how we do it. All to bring you closer to the world of Marine Biology and Oceanography.

«Things We Do at CIMA» #20: Education:

In a previous video we discussed the outreach activities we carry out at the company.

Today, we’ll talk about another task that often goes hand in hand with scientific outreach: the education..

In addition to the educational components of outreach projects like “Things We Do at CIMA", we conduct specific educational actions and projects, such as organizing and coordinating Scientific Outreach Conferences and Congresses.

We also offer courses focused on integrating biologists into the workforce, environmental education, specialized training.

We collaborate by teaching classes in the Master’s Degree in Marine Biology: Biodiversity and Conservation, as well as in the 3rd Year of the Civil Engineering Degree: Water Supply and Sanitation Systems II, both at the University of La Laguna (ULL). .

These specialized courses cover diverse fields, from sampling design and multivariate statistics to developing environmental monitoring plans for various impacts on the marine environment (ports, outfalls, desalination plants, aquaculture concessions, etc.). The primary goal is to equip students with guidelines for addressing environmental challenges they will encounter professionally, complementing the knowledge gained during their university studies.

We also contribute to and collaborate in designing/editing environmental best practice guides derived from our research, particularly in artisanal fisheries.

Currently, we design and develop educational resources and activities related to artisanal fishing, coastal/marine environmental knowledge, and environmental awareness for all ages, from preschool to high school.
