The marine environment is, of all ecosystems, the one that is suffering the most from climate change and the high level of pollution caused by man. The seas cover three-quarters of the Earth’s surface and absorb all the poisons produced on Earth. All this is causing the extinction of numerous marine species and the increase in the levels of alteration of the aquatic environment.
With the arrival of summer and holidays, on average, more than half of Italians choose the sea as a tourist destination. The coasts of Abruzzo and Lazio are populated by thousands of bathers who flock to the beaches, dive into the water, organize boat trips and dives. While it is true that it is very difficult, almost impossible, to give up a seaside holiday, it is also true that there are rules and behaviors that can limit our impact on the marine environment. We must remember to be “guests” and to take care of the environment in which we live and to focus on the responsible behavior of each one to become a true eco-bather.
