Moreover, the commitment and predisposition of the participants were evaluated to continue with this type of project.  They were taught theoretical and practically about the dynamics of the coast (taking beach profiles and oceanographic measurements). They selected the monitoring areas and made monthly measurements for three years. They generated a database that allowed them to characterize the study areas in terms of loss or sediment gain. We worked with the participant observation and the realization of interviews with key informants before and after the surveys. We obtained that the two beaches to the south tended to erosion and those from the north to sediment gain. Despite having passed seven years after the project, the participants expressed their desire to continue monitoring coastal zones in their cities. The active participation of activists complements the work of scientific research and legitimizes their results. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar la dinámica costera de Mar Azul y Mar de las Pampas (Argentina) a través de la participación de activistas. Se evaluó compromiso y predisposición de los participantes para continuar con este tipo de proyectos. Se los capacitó sobre la dinámica de la costa y en la toma de perfiles de playa y mediciones oceanográficas. Ellos determinaron las zonas de monitoreo y midieron mensualmente tres años. Generaron una base de datos para caracterizar las zonas de estudio en cuanto a pérdida o ganancia de sedimentos. Se trabajó con la observación participante y la realización de entrevistas a informantes clave previas y posteriores a los relevamientos. Se obtuvo que, las dos playas al sur tuvieron tendencia a la erosión y las del norte a la ganancia de sedimentos. Los participantes manifestaron sus ganas de continuar en este tipo de proyectos. La continuación de actividades participativas con activistas complementa el trabajo de investigación científica y son legitimadoras de sus resultados ante la sociedad.
