Kleitou \/ Maria Elia \/ Christina Michael \/ Christina Kakoulli \/ Katerina Economou \/ Sotia Dimitriadou \/ Andreas Akathiotis<\/p>\n<p>The aim of our activity is to introduce the public to the work of marine biologists and to show how science contributes both to the protection of marine ecosystems and to the study and conservation of sharks and rays in Cyprus.<\/p>\n<p>Our activity focuses on two main themes. The first is the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems, through actions related to marine litter and Posidonia, an important seagrass that provides shelter and food for many organisms and helps protect our coastlines. The second theme focuses on the study and conservation of elasmobranchs, namely the sharks and rays found in the waters of Cyprus, as well as the threats they face.<\/p>\n<p>Through interactive and hands-on activities, children and the public will have the opportunity to explore the marine life of Cyprus and better understand key concepts in marine science. Participants will discover the differences between sharks, rays, and other fish, become familiar with their unique characteristics, learn how citizens can contribute to scientific knowledge by reporting observations, and engage with examples of actions that support the protection and restoration of the marine environment.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to offer an enjoyable and educational experience that brings the public closer to the sea, highlights the importance of protecting marine life, and inspires both children and adults to view the marine environment of Cyprus with greater interest and care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will introduce the public to the work of marine biologists and show how science contributes both to the protection of marine ecosystems and to the study and conservation of sharks and rays in Cyprus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4926,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[141,142],"class_list":["post-2898","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-day-1-2026-en","tribe_events_cat-day-2-2026-en","cat_day-1-2026-en","cat_day-2-2026-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4939,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2898\/revisions\/4939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2898"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scyence.cyi.ac.cy\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=2898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
