This event titled, 'Engaging society to preserve the ocean: An unprecedented event for the media and digital influencers in Brazil,' will focus on the relationship between the ocean and society, and on how communications can engage people to understand this connection and protect marine ecosystems. It is the first communications-oriented event of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in Brazil. The workshop will be open to the public and free.
