Abstract

Context: In the midst of a complex environmental situation where the impact of climate change is notorious at a global level, aquaculture activity constitutes an important source of food production and an opportunity for the sustainable management of coastal marine resources. Hence the need to contribute from university processes to the preparation of students for the proper management of coastal marine resources and aquaculture activity from a sustainable perspective in the context of climate change in Namibe, Angola.

Objective: Propose actions for the treatment of aquaculture from the university training processes in the careers that are studied in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, at the University of Namibe.

Methods: Consequently, with the qualitative methodology of social research, methods and techniques such as analysis-synthesis, inductive - deductive and documentary analysis were applied, during the processing of the information derived from the bibliographic study related to aquaculture and its treatment from the processes of university training.

Results: Ten actions were proposed, in the undergraduate and postgraduate, science, technical, innovation and university extension processes, from an integrating and multidisciplinary perspective that allow the link with the social actors for the treatment of key issues during the aquaculture production process.

Conclusions: The proposed actions constitute challenges from the methodological scientific work that is carried out in the groups of disciplines and subject preparations in the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Namibe, to contribute to increase the preparation of the student body in aquaculture from the theory link - practice and use of geographic information systems.
