A group of university researchers and high school students have teamed up to raise awareness for ocean literacy and scientific knowledge in ocean management. How do you explain the giant wave of Nazaré? How does the underwater canyon work to deliver the biggest waves in the planet? “The Nazaré Wave: A Trigger for Learning” aims to teach and involve everyone: young students, the general public, and academics. Portuguese students from the Gama Barros High School, in Sintra, produced a short video in which they explain how swell, the wind, and a submarine channel interact to produce the record-breaking waves seen at Praia do Norte, in Nazaré.
