🏫 @taltech.bsky.social is involved in a research project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.
🔬 PRO-Coast is a 36-month EU-funded initiative that aims to strengthen the role of local communities in conserving biodiversity and improving ecosystem services along European coastlines. 🌱
Coastal Clean-Up in the Kloogaranna Area - Today we took part in a beach clean-up at Meremõisa, in the Kloogaranna coastal area, working for the benefit of the environment, the local community, and European science! 💪🤝🌍 🏫 Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech - Tallinna Tehnikaülikool) Tartu College is involved in a research and innovation project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme. The project focuses on the protection and restoration of coastal ecosystems. 🔬 PRO-Coast (Empowering communities to drive proactive change for coastal biodiversity and ecosystem services) is a 36-month EU-funded initiative that aims to strengthen the role of local communities in conserving biodiversity and improving ecosystem services along European coastlines. 🌱 📍 One of the project's test areas is located in the Kloogaranna–Laulasmaa coastal region of Western-Harju municipality (Estonia), which is why today’s clean-up took place at Meremõisa beach. 👉 During the cleanup, we collected coastal litter to create two symbolic "waste beacons," raising awareness about pollution and sustainable practices. This action supported two initiatives: The PRO-Coast research and innovation project And the Harju Fishing Association’s initiative to promote fisheries and maritime heritage as part of the “Paldiski Day – In the Rhythm of Sea Winds” festival. 🌊🎣
