Mediterranean monk seal awareness day

The Mediterranean Conservation Society and Marmaris Municipality are jointly organising an awareness day to protect the Mediterranean monk seal, which is struggling to survive on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, its last refuge. As part of the awareness-raising activities of the project “Assessment of the Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus monachus) Population and Habitats in the Gökova Special Environmental Protection Area”, carried out by the Mediterranean Conservation Society, the aim is to raise awareness by introducing the species to local people, children and civil society organisations.
