Every element on the beach has a role: ASPEH promotes responsible behaviour along the Adriatic coast

🐚Every shell, pebble and grain of sand has a role in coastal ecosystems. Through ASPEH, partners are promoting responsible behaviour and raising awareness on the importance of respecting Adriatic beaches as living habitats, not as places from which to collect souvenirs.
