Since the early 1980s, ARCHELON has been continuous present in the area, conducting vital research and conservation activities. In 2018, Kyparissia bay was formally designated as a Nature Protection Area under the Natura 2000 network of protected, reinforcing its status as a critical habitat for sea turtle reproduction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LIFE MareNatura aims to enhance protection measures through science-based management, habitat preservation, and the expansion of the Natura 2000 marine network in Greece. \u201cRaising public awareness and community engagement are essential to the project&#8217;s success\u2014and the new Info Station in Kyparissia plays a central role in this effort\u201d, explains Anna Karatsori, ARCHELON\u2019s Public Awareness Officer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visitors to the Info Station will have the opportunity to:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Discover fascinating facts about the Loggerhead turtle and other marine species.<\/li>\n<li>Learn about the threats and pressures these species face and how they are being addressed.<\/li>\n<li>Engage with ARCHELON\u2019s conservation work and volunteer efforts in the area.<\/li>\n<li>Understand the broader objectives of LIFE MareNatura and how local action supports global biodiversity goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We invite residents and tourists alike to visit the Information Station and join the movement to protect Greece\u2019s precious marine life: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/R8JVR8ZNApsCXhQX8\">https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/R8JVR8ZNApsCXhQX8<\/a><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
