Our expedition to circumnavigate all Croatian islands is more than just a maritime adventure; it's a journey with a profound purpose. By traversing the entirety of Croatia's 1244 islands, we aim to raise awareness of two critical environmental issues threatening the coastal ecosystem: plastic pollution and unsustainable coastal development.
Plastic pollution poses a severe threat to marine life, ecosystems, and human health. As we navigate the pristine waters surrounding Croatia's islands, we'll witness firsthand the impact of plastic waste on the environment. Through educational outreach and awareness campaigns during our expedition, we'll highlight the urgent need for action to address this global crisis. By documenting and sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire individuals and communities to reduce plastic consumption, promote recycling, and advocate for policies that protect our seas.
Additionally, our expedition will shed light on the environmental consequences of rapid coastal development in Croatia. The proliferation of hotel resorts and apartment buildings along the coastline not only alters the natural landscape but also disrupts fragile marine habitats and threatens biodiversity. Through our journey, we'll emphasize the importance of responsible and sustainable coastal development practices that prioritize environmental conservation and preservation. By showcasing the beauty and biodiversity of Croatia's coastal regions, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for these natural treasures and advocate for their protection for future generations.
In essence, our expedition serves as a platform to raise awareness, inspire action, and advocate for the preservation of Croatia's coastal environment. Through our exploration, documentation, and educational initiatives, we hope to ignite a movement toward a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
