On May 14th, 2026, PP6 - Public Institution for the Management of Protected Areas of Nature of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County - presented the GREW project and the project application of the same name to the students of the Opuzen Primary School at the Neretva Estuary. The promotion of the GREW project and the Neretva Estuary cleaning campaign were organized as part of the Open Day of EU projects 2026, which is implemented by the Ministry of Regional Development and European Union Funds at the level of the Republic of Croatia.
Students had the opportunity to get acquainted with the GREWApp, which allows them to report their observations during their stay in nature, whether of plant or animal species, immediately on the spot.
After the presentation of the project and the natural features of the protected area - the special ornithological and ichthyological reserve of the Neretva Estuary - a cleaning campaign was organized for a part of the Neretva Estuary with 39 students. During the clean-up operation, most of the waste collected was plastic, glass, cigarette butts and discarded vehicle parts.
