GREEN WATERS

GREEN WATERS: Τhe Network for life in the sea

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to a healthy ocean, a goal placed in the center of the global sustainable development agenda and sets goals to address the overexploitation of natural resources, climate change and pollution. The balance between nature and simultaneous sustainable development remains critical. However, sometimes, these relationships remain tense. In order to eliminate the difficulties in achieving sustainable development, we need knowledge and unity as main tools.
In this context, the GREEN WATERS Network aims to strengthen the awareness and involvement of volunteers and organizations dealing with the marine environment, through collaborations and networking of the organizations.
