Abstract

The present article addresses the study of the state of a Zostera nolteii meadow at the Testal’s shellfish bank (Noia, Spain). Scholars supported by scientists carried out the study. The aim of the Climantica scholar science program is to contribute to the scientific knowledge through the development of local data series of ecological interest. In this case, the relationship between the abundance of bivalves and the presence of Zostera nolteii was assessed. The main aim of this activity was to train students to scientifically explore and evaluate human impacts on the most relevant ecosystem services in their area. This collaboration between science and school, allowed students to increase their scientific skills and, at the same time, they developed bidirectional transference between science and school.

The described activity focused on the relationship between the animal diversity at the Testal’s shellfish bank and the presence and distribution of Zostera nolteii, in order to understand its role in the intertidal ecosystem.
