Project Description
The Fervedoiro project is a call to the emergency situation in which Ría de Arousa, its natural environment and its people find themselves. The consequences of increase in water temperature can be devastating for a population entirely dependent on the sea. Awareness of the risks of climate change and its effects on water is a way to value our past, what we used to do; our present, what we are and in the future, what we want to be. And we intend to do so through a dynamic, active educational process that has an impact on its environment and its inhabitants but is open to use by other communities from which we also want to learn.
Rianxo is a coastal location on the Arousa estuary, located in Galicia, Spain. As a fishing village, the main economic activities revolve around the sea: inshore fishing, shellfishing on foot, aquaculture on boats and tourism.
The main objective of this project is to analyze the risks and consequences of the increase in water temperature on the natural environment, the landscape, the fauna and the local vegetation as well as its inhabitants and the activities they carry out.
Impact Assesment Tools
Current Project Impact
The following scores were calculated using a statistically-driven machine-learning approach, a type of AI that learns to perform a task by analysing patterns in data. This is an experimental approach to citizen-science impact assessment, and the exact reasoning behind the scores is not explainable. The scores represent a best guess of the impact the project is having in each domain. Scores are recalculated and updated when “View impact report” is clicked.
Domain Progress
Proportion of questions answered in each domain.

This is the beginning of a journey (some would say a "trajectory" ) along more than 200 questions. Don't worry; you don't have to answer them all at once. Do something, and come back some other day. You will find a lot of help along the way, and if you're generally happy to start, just click on "Ok, I got it!" below. If you're unsure how to answer a question, again, don't worry, answer it in the way that makes most sense to your project and you can always come back and change it later. If you still have doubts about life, the universe and everything, now or later, head to where to find help for advice and all the clarity you might look for.
