we are Álvaro Velho School in Portugal, Barreiro. The patron who gave the name to our school Álvaro Velho embarked on the ship of discoveries. He crossed seas and told us about that trip. Today our waters are very different. We will proceed to the study and quality of our waters, as they are in the present and what their future will be. We will investigate invasive aquatic species and pollution, namely plastics and microplastics. We would like to share our research and get to know the realities of other European schools. We are concerned about the waters of our rivers and oceans.
