Phone photography #85 / An encounter with children who help protect the beaches of Havana, Cuba

One of the benefits of my job is sharing and passing on knowledge. This is one of the things that brings me the most joy, because I see how children learn and, at the same time, put what they learn into practice.

At the Institute of Geology and Paleontology, where I work, there is a department of Regional Geology. Researchers in this area, in Environmental Geology and Knowledge Management, had an exchange with children from an interest group called "Guardians of the Beaches."

They are dedicated to protecting these geographical features.

We gave them some actions they could take to fulfill their mission, and it was truly a wonderful encounter because the project we are carrying out has to do with the Coastal Vulnerability Index of all Cuban beaches and the causes that generate processes that affect the good behavior of beaches, such as coastal flooding.

It was a beautiful encounter, and I have decided to capture it in this publication.
