- Raising awareness of the environmental and social impacts of nautical tourism through education and advocacy.
- Supporting local communities and preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Greek coastline.
- Strengthening cooperation among individuals, charterers, organizations, and authorities to address shared environmental challenges in the sailing sector.
Our Values:
