"Centinelas de la Costa" aims, through a coordinated team of different entities and experts in coastal research, to promote the scientific culture of citizens, in terms of the changes that our coast shows as a consequence of different natural processes or of anthropic origin. It is articulated in two main actions with different spatial scope: (i) Action at the regional level: with the aim of implementing and promoting the means and resources already available within the international initiative of CoastSnap towards different sectors of society. Adding to existing resources, new functionalities have been implemented and a contest has been launched to encourage the use of the CoastSnap App and generate community. (ii) Action at the local level: a common space and format of a mobile application has been created, "Centinelas de la costa", that allows the different members of the project team to provide solutions according to the specific needs of each location. This action is complemented with training days for volunteers in data collection, in collaboration with local agents
