Mar de Experiências aims to publicise and enhance coastal culture. It sees the articulation of science and history as the formula for environmental preservation and the clarification of an integrative and sustainable social project. Science gives us access to knowledge and history gives us an understanding of who we are and how we got here. In this relationship, which connects us to the environment, we reflect on the future and promote social involvement. It gathers information and develops dynamics and educational resources. It favours the use of recycled and reused materials and puts them to new uses, with the aim of raising awareness of History, People, Biodiversity and the relationship between them, through books, games, documentaries, trails and art installations. The rubbish collected from the beaches used in the installations raises awareness of environmental issues through art, revealing social uses and choices, symbolising the interdependence of everyone in their individual, local and global contexts.
