Abstract

If compared to other countries around the world, Brazil has developed a rather rich and advanced environmental legislation, including public policies (PPs) related to environmental education (EE) and the coastal and marine zones. Thus, the country can be considered as a model, although there isn’t any PP in EE directed exclusively to coastal and marine areas yet, which can be considered as a great challenge to the improvement of EE in the Brazilian coast. In this context, this chapter aims: (a) to briefly present the only two Brazilian federal PPs exclusively oriented to EE; (b) point out 12 Brazilian emblematic federal PPs that can potentially cover the coastal and marine zones; and (c) discuss the main gaps and challenges related to the PPs and the Coastal and Marine Environmental Education (CMEE) in Brazil.
