The Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais - PCN (National Curricular Parameters) raised Environmental Education (EE) in Elementary and Secondary school to the condition of a transversal theme. However, due to omissions in their professional training or a lack of opportunities to keep up todate, both professionals and future teachers are often unable to use their knowledge of coastal ecosystems as teaching content and/or practice of Environmental Education, whether formal or informal. This situation arises from the lack of deeper philosophical and epistemological study on the fundamentals and practices of EE. It is, therefore, appropriate to question in what forms the future oceanographer could incorporate technical-scientific training into the environmental education. EE is being integrated to Education as a whole through the curricular transversality in all levels of education. This work seeks to discuss the interaction between Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and EE in coastal areas, since the interaction between technologies like the Internet and education can only be considered worthwhile if they are used, at the same time, as teaching tools for the dissemination of knowledge and objects of study.
