Together with @HYUNDAIMOTOREUROPE , reclaiming waters from abandoned fish farms along the Western #Greece coast.

Starting with a ten-day intensive clean-up near #Patras and #Ithaca , our initiative aims to restore #marine environments and support local communities. During these ten days, we also held two educational
programs in primary schools and university workshops.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐬 - 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 takes a comprehensive approach to tackling the issue of ghost farms.

Our recent survey with OZON NGO mapped out 440-450 nautical miles of #coastline , revealing 150 potential hotspots of fish farming-related waste. This eye-opening data shows the scale of the challenge ahead and the urgency to act. But we're not stopping there! Building on past successes, like our clean-ups in #Ithaca, we're expanding to tackle multiple locations for the long haul.

Keep an eye out for updates and exciting news on 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐬 - 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬! Stay tuned!

Thanks to everyone involved for making this possible: #volunteer divers from @ghostdivingorg ; Diopas S.A. ; Odyssey Outdoor Activities - Ithaca, Greece;
European Outdoor Education Hub; Embassy of the Netherlands in Greece; OZON NGO. Together, for a change.
