Knowledge, observation and coastal literacy tools.
You protect what you know. This module helps citizens read their coast as a living system — its ecosystems, its streams and dunes, its cultural landmarks and the pressures it faces.
Fotoessa took part in City Nature Challenge 2026 with the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR), with field training and two coastal biodiversity bioblitzes at the Anavyssos Salt Pans and Pefko Beach.
As the Municipality of Saronikos drafts its Local Urban Plan, Fotoessa joined a meeting of active citizens on local streams, beaches and the archaeological monuments of the coastal zone.
The Guardians of the Coasts partners met diving instructors Angeliki Spanea and Giannis Angelakos at Diveness and learned about thirteen years of volunteer seabed and beach clean-ups.
The Fotoessa team and our Portuguese partners visited the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research to discuss coastal erosion, Posidonia meadows and the role of active citizens in protecting the coasts.
