You will be able to see the exhibition in the week of October 25-31 in front of the Cultural Center "Sea Casino", as well as throughout the month of December. On October 31, professional divers from the Friends of the Sea Association will clean the bottom around the Bridge. The organizers are also expecting assistants. The event is part of the project "Implementation of measures to reduce marine litter in the Burgas Bay", which is implemented in partnership with the Foundation "Chance for Children and Nature of Bulgaria" and the NGO "The Blue Army", Iceland. Its funding is under the Program "Environmental Protection and Climate Change" of the EEA FM 2014-2021. International Black Sea Day is a good occasion to reflect on the damage caused by human impact and climate change and the risk to which our blue and green ecosystems are exposed. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Black Sea Strategic Plan, and it is a good reminder that continued efforts are needed to prevent human pollution and the harmful effects of climate change before they become irreversible.
