Socioenvironmental Educommunication Tools: subsidies for Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Abstract

The Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) requires the dissemination of information and the training of social actors for effective participation in this process. In the context of the National Environmental Education Policy the Socio-Environmental Educommunication Program provides subsidies for the production of information, dissemination and democratic access to citizens. This work is inserted in this context, presenting the process of creating audiovisual material on GCI themes and analyzing their potentialities from the perspective of the Environmental Education (EA) training path and compatibility with the principles of Socio-Environmental Educommunication. The results demonstrate that the analyzed material is compatible with such principles, as well as that it has the potential to help improve the maturity and effectiveness indicators of the GCI, since it is based on the integration of different public policies, following existing normative structures and incorporating the participation of institutions responsible for the country's coastal management.
