Local Action, Global Impact: Driving Positive Change Worldwide

Lemnos Marine Conservation is mobilizing community action to protect Lemnos Island and share information locally and internationally. We collaborate with local fishermen, students from Lemnos’ schools, and citizen science volunteers to develop impactful conservation initiatives. 

Through workshops, training sessions, and hands-on activities, we empower community members to contribute their knowledge, ideas, and passion to marine conservation. 

Together, we design and implement innovative programs that address pressing marine issues, promote sustainable fishing practices, and inspire the next generation of ocean stewards.

 

LMC is creating awareness with the Lemnos community: through schools, public events, radio and the municipality of Lemnos.

What is Citizen Science?

Citizen science is all about teamwork between scientists and everyday people like you! Together, we collect and analyze data to better understand our world. 

No science background needed – just curiosity and enthusiasm! By participating in citizen science projects, you’ll help answer big questions that require lots of data.  We’ll guide you through a simple process, and your contributions will make a real difference. 

Let’s explore, learn, and make new discoveries together!

Minoan Legacy Empowering Women in Marine Conservation

Earle is one of the great naturalists of the last century, often mentioned among the likes of David Attenborough and Jane Goodall. She was the first woman to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, holds the record for the deepest untethered dive and has led countless expeditions across the globe.

Born in 1935, Earle continues to passionately advocate for ocean conservation

In Minoan culture women were revered as priestesses, goddesses, and guardians of the natural world. The Minoans’ deep connection with the sea and its creatures is reflected in their art and symbolism, where women are often depicted alongside marine life. 
 
This ancient culture’s reverence for the feminine and the ocean’s power can inspire modern women to pursue careers in marine conservation. 
 
By embracing the Minoan legacy, women today can continue to play a crucial role in transforming our society’s perception of “our collective nature” while protecting the world’s land and sea ecology, and the life it sustains.
