Greece has approved 21 initiatives worth EUR 780 mn to protect marine biodiversity and <\/strong>address coastal pollution<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing statements by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The initiatives will include the development of two marine parks that will observe 32% of Greece\u2019s waters, one in the Ionian Sea and the other in the Aegean. The exact locations will be determined by early 2025 pending research, and the full strategy will be shared at the Our Ocean conference hosted in Athens this week. Other campaigns addressing plastic pollution and damaging fishing practices, as well as constructing charging stations for electric vessels are in the works, the PM said.<\/p>\n
