Yesterday we went around the Ilha do Catalão by boat with Alejandro, who does research on the pollution of the Guanabara Bay around the Fundão. We wanted to see the area that is going to belong to the Museum and that we can use for biology and ecology activities. The idea is to have navigation classes starting from there as well, and all sorts of navigation-related activities.
The area around the Museum probably used to be beautiful. It still is, in a way, but it is so polluted that it is difficult to see it. It's still rich in endemic flora, such as mangrove, guava and pitanga trees, and it's home to various species of birds and fish.
