Abstract(s)

Pedra do Sal Interpretation Center offers an original experience, and the possibility to observe and touch all of Avencas beach fauna and flora, once it is equipped with a touch tank, representative of a rocky shore tide pool. In 2013 the Municipality of Cascais developed and installed the permanent exhibition “Cascais, from Land to Sea“ and adjusted all of its scholarly activities to this theme. Since the opening of the exhibition, the number of visitors of Pedra do Sal Interpretation Center has been increasing and is currently four times higher than in the past year (2012 vs 2013).
