14 species of marine mammals can be found in Greek seas, a fact unknown to most of us. As part of the educational materials for the European Program, LIFE Thalassa “Thalassa: Learn, Act, Protect” and to better introduce these unique animals, we created the site, Thalassapedia, designed for young people and those close to them, such as teachers and parents. The aim of Thalassapedia is to introduce the marine mammals of Greece, teach about the threats they face, discuss how to protect them, to provide downloadable activities for classrooms, and admire these animals through videos and photos.

And don’t forget to spread the word. The more we all know about these creatures, the better we can protect them!
