Community Engagement
Public engagement and awareness has been a major goal for KOSAMARE since its conception. Our office in the harbour of Fiskardo is a museum, with artefacts and information that exhibit the marine environment and local history. Our displays include skeletons of a Cuvier’s beaked whale, Mediterranean monk seal, and loggerhead turtle. Our wall displays showcase the species that we work with, so that visitors can gain an understanding of the local marine environment.
Our beach cleaning activities engage local people and tourists directly in the preservation of the sea. We have worked locally with the school in Fiskardo to provide education sessions that engage children.
