Human activity has an enormous impact marine ecosystems. From overfishing to plastic pollution, the consequences of tourism and commerce affect animals who live in the seas and oceans around the world. In Greece, The National Marine park of Alonissos is home to an endangered seal species. One of those seals, Kostis, was killed with a speargun in 2021, causing an international NGO “Sea Shepherd” to step in.
Valia Stefanoudaki, the director of Sea Shepherd Greece, explained to Popaganda why they decided to open an office in Greece and how the work they do helps save the marine flora and fauna.
