Sensibilisation

One of the missions of the Stella Mare platform of University of Corsica, is to raise public awareness of the marine and coastal environment. This approach carried out in collaboration with U Marinu Association (CPIE Bastia – Golo – Mediterranean) has several goals:

Raise awareness of environmental protection issues among the public and youth.

Enable school children to be in contact with science and perhaps inspire vocational choices.
