An interesting workshop was held on the 3 May 2023 whereas NGOs and Authorities together with the project managers and experts involved in the Coastal Cover project has to opportunity to study some of the results obtained so far throughout the project.
Experts from France, Ireland, Italy and Spain also recounted their experience with projects carried out within their own coastal zones. A common feature amongst the Mediterranean countries which strikes home for divers was the importance of protecting seagrass meadows, since in turn, it helps protect the sandy beaches from being washed away. Unfortunately, our own country has seen vast areas of seagrass (Posidonia Oceanica) being effected due to the pressure from marine environment users.
