BLUE HALKIDIKI 2021-2023

A FEW WORDS ABOUT "BLUE HALKIDIKI"

Η ιδέα του Blue Halkidiki γεννήθηκε από την ανάγκη καθαρισμού του θαλάσσιου οικοσυστήματος από τα απορρίμματα που ολοένα και αυξάνονται λόγω της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας.

Από το 2021 που ήταν η πρώτη φορά που οργανώθηκε το project μέχρι και το 2023, καταφέραμε να πραγματοποιήσουμε 19 αποστολές όπου μαζέψαμε σχεδόν 11 τόνους σκουπιδιών από τον βυθό και τις παράκτιες περιοχές του Τορωναίου κόλπου. Πάνω από 1000 πλαστικά μιας χρήσης, εκατοντάδες γόπες τσιγάρων, 2 κάδοι σκουπιδιών, 15 ελαστικά αυτοκινήτων και αλιευτικός εξοπλισμός, βρέθηκαν και απομακρύνθηκαν.

Αξιοσημείωτη ήταν η ανταπόκριση του κοινού καθώς από το 2021 έως το 2023, πάνω από 550 εθελοντές και μέλη του Greek Eco Project έδωσαν απλόχερα την βοήθειά τους για να πραγματοποιηθούν οι καθαρισμοί. Για τους υποβρύχιους καθαρισμούς βοήθησαν οι 12 επαγγελματίες δύτες ενώ στους παράκτιους δεν έλειψαν και οι μικροί εθελοντές.

Στο πλευρό μας ήταν και οι επιστημονικοί μας συνεργάτες, το ερευνητικό ινστιτούτο ΙΝΑΛΕ, που παράλληλα με τους καθαρισμούς, πραγματοποίησε έρευνα, ώστε να υπάρχουν απτά αποτελέσματα που να υποστηρίζουν την ανάγκη για δράση. Βέβαια, σημαντική ήταν και η παρουσία του φωτογράφου Νικόλα Σαμαρά, που απαθανάτισε τον βυθό και καταφέραμε να δείξουμε στο ευρύ κοινό την κατάσταση που επικρατεί.

Φυσικά, όλη αυτή η προσπάθεια δεν θα μπορούσε να γίνει αν δεν υπήρχε η οικονομική στήριξη από τους χορηγούς μας καθώς το Blue Halkidiki βασίζεται αποκλειστικά σε ιδιωτική πρωτοβουλία.  

Marine pollution is of greater importance and it concerns us all.

So let’s all make the sea BLUE AGAIN!

THE GOAL
BLUE HALKIDIKI

This 3 words fully cover the objective of BLUE HALKIDIKI.
Raising awareness and informing the world about marine pollution is the most important purpose for which we organize and voluntarily participate in this great effort.
However, motivation is the result of proper information and awareness, because to help the planet, practical actions are needed.
Το BLUE HALKIDIKI however, has another very strong goal, the promotion of Halkidiki as a destination of special ecological interest.
Of course, through these actions, a valuable opportunity is created for researching the seabed of Halkidiki, mapping it and getting to know the marine life of the Toroneos gulf and what kind of finds and waste are found on the seabed and on the coast.
