The protection of the marine environment of the southern Aegean from pollution prompted regional governor Giorgos Hatzimarkos to collaborate closely with the United Nations, to promote the UN’s world campaign “Clean Seas” in the southern Aegean, ANA reports.
Hatzimarkos pointed out that because of the high tourist popularity of the Aegean Islands, they bear a heavy environmental burden. “The use of UN’s experience in environmental matters and the adoption of its actions in the area constitutes a huge opportunity and an exceptional perspective to safeguard our islands’ sustainability in the future, along with their further development. We are going to take full advantage of this opportunity in the interest of the residents and the islands’ visitors,” he said.
