AB  - In a context of climate change it is important to increase awareness in society of the need to conserve  biodiversity  and  marine  species  sustainability. Here we  present results of the project  “EduMar/EduSea – Educate   for   the   Sea” (SAICT-POL/23480/2016) which aimed to educate  students for the preservation of the sea and its resources through citizen science. It is posed the problem of evaluating the effectiveness  of  the  school  community involvement  in  citizen  science  activities, both for scientists use of data and for children learning. More than 300 primary school 
students (ages 9 to 11) with the help of their teachers, participated in interdisciplinary science  activities  focusing  on  the  causes  and  consequences  of  climate  change  in  the ocean,  learning  to  identify  rocky  shore  marine  species  and  acquiring  ICT  skills  to insert   photographs,    with    a    tablet,    in    a    biodiversity    mapping    application (Biodiverisity4All/iNaturalist). The analysis of data from the online platform enabled  assessment  of  the  percentage  of  correct  species  identification  by  students.  From  the perspective  of  a  scientist  the  following  items  were  analysed  regarding  the  image quality  and  use:  not  usable/usable,  adequate  with  high/low  quality,  with  information on  target/other  species.  Students  recognised  the  importance  of  their  participation  as citizens in monitoring the effects of climate change and scientists also validated their data in the platform. We will discuss the importance and appliance of this action for future projects.
