We are going to the seaside!! Despite the slightly cold weather, the Green Balkans team is going to mark the International Black Sea Action Day in Shabla and Pomorie a day earlier. On the 29th of October we are going to celebrate this important ecological date at the Green Educational Center in Shabla where we are going to meet students from 1st to the 4th grades. We are going to talk with them about the Black sea inhabitants, especially cetaceans, that we study. We are going to show them photos and video clips from our marine expeditions and make dolphin models together. We are going to play thematic games and have fun learning about the Black sea an how to keep it clean.
The next day - the 30th of October, we are going to visit the students from the ‘Ivan Vazov’ Secondary school and celebrate the International Black Sea Action Day in the ‘Prosveta 1888’ Cultural club in Pomorie. Where we are going to see the seabed model they have made and listen to reports they have prepared. The Green Balkans team was invited to present a popular science film with information on the Black sea and its inhabitants.

Natura 2000
Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network for nature conservation. More than 30% of the territory of Bulgaria falls within the scope of the network - 120 areas for the protection of wild birds and 234 areas for the protection of natural habitats.
Cetaceans
There are 3 species of cetaceans in the Black Sea - Bottlenose Dolphin, Short-beaked Common Dolphin and Harbour Porpoise, endemic to our sea. Persecuted in the past, not much is known today about the state of the populations of the three species. The Bottlenose Dolphin and the Harbour Porpoise are subject to protection by the Natura 2000 ecological network and special marine protected areas are declared for their protection.
