About This Event

In this special event on the occasion of the World Ocean Day celebration, Dr. Velaoras, a physical oceanographer of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR), Institute of Oceanography, will explore how the global climate crisis is reshaping ocean systems, affecting marine biodiversity, coastal communities, weather patterns, and the delicate balance of the Mediterranean ecosystem.

Through scientific insight and real-world observations, the presentation will highlight the current state of the Mediterranean Sea, the impacts already being recorded, and the major environmental challenges expected in the coming decades. The discussion will also emphasize the importance of research, innovation, and collective action in protecting one of the world’s most unique and vulnerable marine regions for future generations.
