SUMMARY:Discovering cetaceans
DESCRIPTION:Free event dedicated to the knowledge and protection of Mediterranean whales and dolphins\, aimed at the students of the Istituto Comprensivo Statale 1 “Spini Vanoni” in Morbegno. The children are the young protagonists of this seminar organized by marine biologists from the voluntary association Rotta Mediterraneo\, hosted by the Civic Museum of Natural History of Morbegno.\nThe initiative was created with the aim of bringing young people who live far from the coast closer to the sea and marine biodiversity\, offering them an opportunity for discovery\, awareness\, and environmental education. During the meeting\, participants get a closer look at Mediterranean whales and dolphins: the characteristics of the different species\, their behavior\, the habitats they live in\, and the main threats that jeopardize their survival today.\nThrough images\, stories\, and the direct experiences of marine biologists\, the seminar provided a moment of scientific dissemination and discussion. The goal was to promote greater awareness of the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and the biodiversity of our Mare Nostrum.\nThe event is part of a series of meetings organized by Rotta Mediterraneo as part of the “European Maritime Day in My Country” initiative\, promoted by the European Commission.
