Study visit to Crotian representative site

Published on 20/06/2023 (last modified 20/06/2023)

The "study visit to Croatian representative site" was held on 02 June 2023, organized by the PP4 DUNEA.

According to the schedule, first we visited the elementary school in Opuzen, where we presented to the young generations the problem of salinization in the Neretva valley and what activities the project team is carrying out in order to respond to these problems. Educational materials and specially made picture books on the subject of the pilot area and climate change were distributed. The idea of the activity is to reach out to stakeholders and politicians, to inform them about new approaches to reduce the negative effects of seawater intrusion into coastal agricultural areas, and to increase the level of preparedness for climate change and its consequences. The implementation of study visits maximizes the understanding of the salinization process specific to each of the sites.After visiting the schools, the students visited the measuring stations in the pilot area. Prof. Veljko Srzić (FGAG) held a short educational lecture and briefly introduced them to the activities in the field. These are measuring stations that were set up as part of the MoST project in areas that are recognized as highly endangered by the harmful effects of seawater, and where regular field testing of salinity and other parameters of surface and underground water is carried out.
