Uma pesquisa, a partir da aplicação de questionários, foi realizada com estudantes e professores do ensino fundamental do município de Vila Velha (Espírito Santo, Brasil) objetivando verificar o interesse e conhecimento sobre a “zona costeira”. A praia foi um dos temas abordados na investigação em função da sua importância e relevância para a cidade. A partir desta verificação inicial pôde-se inferir acerca da necessidade/possibilidade de incorporação dos temas inerentes a costa nos programas educacionais e de educação ambiental. Os resultados indicaram haver um grande interesse sobre os processos envolvidos no ambiente praial, o que já permitiria começar a conscientizar a comunidade, desde jovem, sobre a importância da sua participação nos programas de gerenciamento costeiro. Contudo, algumas lacunas foram identif icadas; os alunos ainda desconhecem alguns conceitos relativamente simples sobre o assunto, material didático sobre o tema é escasso nas escolas, e as práticas de campo e laboratório que envolvam o ambiente costeiro são recursos pouco utilizados. O diálogo entre a educação básica e a gestão costeira pode ser um caminho didaticamente viável e contribuir tanto na aquisição de conteúdos quanto na formação de alunos-cidadãos mais conscientes de suas responsabilidades como agentes transformadores, dependentes e responsáveis pelo meio ambiente.
Based on questionnaires, a research was applied to students and teachers of elementary school in the municipality of Vila Velha (Espírito Santo, Brazil) aiming to verify the interest and knowledge about the “coastal zone”. The beach was one of the topics addressed in the investigation due to its importance and relevance to the city. From this initial verification, it was possible to infer about the need/possibility of incorporating themes inherent to the coast in educational and environmental education pro-grams. The results indicated that there is a great interest in the processes involved in the beach environment, which would already allow the community to begin to raise awareness, from a young age, about the importance of their participation in coastal management programs. However, some gaps have been identified; students are still unaware of some relatively simple concepts on the subject, didactic material on the subject is scarce in schools, and field and laboratory practices involving the coastal environment are little used resources. The dialogue between basic education and coastal management can be a didactically viable path and contribute both to the acquisition of content and to the training of student-citizens more aware of their responsibilities as transforming, dependent and responsible agents for the environment.
