Your pledge is a personal promise or action that will keep our ocean healthy. Every action – even the smallest one - brings change to our ocean!

FINS INTO THE WATER OCEAN LITERACY INTO PRACTICE "Fins into the water - Ocean Literacy into practice" is an outreach and education initiative aimed at the diving sector. This work has been finalized during the year 2022 and intercepted different contexts of the Italian peninsula. The most valuable contribution has been obtained thanks to the joint effort with the Tavolara Diving center staff who actively contributed to the finalization of a bottom-up initiative which has been considered valuable for the upcoming restoration initiatives to be held in the framework of the "EU Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters" mission. The tangible outcome of this field-based research contribution has been shared on the occasion of the Brussels Maritime Forum held in Belgium in February 2023. |
