Description

Figueira da Foz follows the international tendency for abandon of traditional saliculture, with consequences for the degradation of coastal cultural heritage. Thus, the initiative “Quinta Ciência Viva do Sal - cooperation, safeguard and innovation” emerges, to be implemented in the Salina do Corredor da Cobra, in that Municipality, aiming to i) preserve and enhance the coastal cultural heritage; ii) reinforce the feeling of belonging and cultural appropriation; and iii) promote science, technology and innovation, associated with saliculture and related endogenous resources. The objectives will be achieved through the rehabilitation of immovable heritage (structural measures) (Activity 1); promoting and enhancing endogenous resources and intangible heritage through activities to be carried out in Portugal and Norway (Activity 2); and through research and co-creation activities that favor participatory events and encourage entrepreneurship (Activity 3).
