Description

The sea is a perennial source of enchantment, a true labyrinth of beauty, but also a stage for unforeseen and unpredictable changes, often bringing dangers and hardships. There is knowledge that is not only necessary, but essential for those who live, spend hours or use this environment as a source of work. The maritime mentality is a process of building knowledge, awareness and appreciation of the importance of the sea for the survival and prosperity of a nation. This concept involves the collective belief in the vital role of the oceans in the economy, culture and environment. Practices related to the importance of the oceans should become a habit in the nation, especially in its academic meanders, through formal and informal educational experiences, promoting an ocean culture that values marine resources. Sustainable development is connected to the concept of blue economy, which emphasizes the preservation of marine ecosystems and the importance of the oceans for biodiversity and climate. Oceanographic dynamics involves the study of currents, tides and other phenomena that affect the oceans and regulate the Earth's climate. While Magnetic Declination is crucial for cartography and oceanography, as it influences orientation in relation to true north and establishes precision in geographic coordinates. This knowledge is fundamental for carrying out accurate analyses in various areas, such as climatology and ecology, where the interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere plays a vital role in understanding natural phenomena and predicting climate events.
