CORFU. Corfu volunteer divers will take part in the project and interest has also been expressed by winter swimmers.
Aegean Rebreath will be carrying out its first project of 2021 this coming weekend in collaboration with Central Corfu & Diapontia Islands Municipality following the memorandum of cooperation signed by the two parties.
On Saturday morning a large team from Aegean Rebreath will clean up the seabed at Anemomylos and on Sunday will do the same at Paleokastritsa. Corfu volunteer divers will take part in the project and interest has also been expressed by winter swimmers.
This complex and ambitious project follows the signing of a memorandum of cooperation by Aegean Rebreath, Central Corfu & Diapontia Islands Municipality and Corfu Port Authority, which, apart from the cleaning up of the seabed, also includes setting up a marine litter station and carrying out a series of comprehensive activities.

Aegean Rebreath, through its activities, aspires to introduce a new culture according to which less waste will be produced while encouraging recycling and upcycling of marine litter following the principles of the circular economy. Our goal is to highlight the importance of the quality of the marine environment for ecosystems, climate, the economy and society.
In April there was a preliminary online meeting to create the first network of municipalities for the protection of the marine environment in Greece, of which Central Corfu Municipality was one of the first members.
The Deputy Minister for Environment and Energy Giorgos Amiras took part in the meeting and Central Corfu Municipality was represented by Panayiota Tzanne, Deputy Mayor and project manager for the EU 100 Intelligent Cities Challenge (ICC), and Viktoras Dimoulis, assistant project manager.
This weekend's project is part of Central Corfu Municipality's participation in the ICC.
