On May 19, AKTI brought together over 100 volunteers of all ages in Karnagio, Limassol, to raise awareness about the blue economy and the power of citizen science. Almost 1 tonne of litter was collected in less than 1 hour with an epic beach cleanup in collaboration with Blue Thunder Diving and #TeamUp.
During the discussion, the feedback was clear: 80% believe Cyprus should move faster towards sustainable blue growth!
Participants also identified gaps in their knowledge about:
🌍 Climate change and its relation to the blue economy
🌱 The European Green Deal
🔵 Blue technologies
💙 Blue growth
🚮 Marine litter
Let’s keep riding this wave of change for a healthier, more sustainable blue economy!
