QES Project: The CoAdapta project | Litoral is a project designed in Brazil and Chile focusing on citizen science, adaptation and climate change in islands and coastal zones.
The project uses citizen science as an action-research opportunity to integrate local and scientific knowledge through participatory GIS as a response to the challenge of climate change, in both study cases: the Chiloé Archipelago and interior sea in South Chile (‘comunas’ de Dalcahue and Quellón in Chiloé, Maullín in Llanquihue and Caleta El Manzano in Hualaihué) and the Southeast coast of Brazil (Caraguatatuba, Ubatuba, in São Paulo and Paraty in Rio de Janeiro).
