Our project is entitled “Guardians of the Aegean – Empowering Students to Protect the Marine Ecosystem” and is implemented within the framework of the European PROBLEU programme. Partners in this programme are the non-governmental organizations Archipelagos, Aegean Rebreath and the Maria Tsakos Foundation, the non-profit company Lemnos Tourism, and the University of the Aegean.
The main objectives of the project are:
- to foster environmental awareness among students, citizens, and professionals on the two islands (Lemnos and Chios),
- to train students in the collection and interpretation of scientific data related to seawater,
- to promote environmentally friendly practices (such as reducing the use of plastic) in the local community.
