Sažetak
Environmental education and awareness-raising are key activities to foster a positive change in society related to the well-being of the oceans. In line with MERCES goals to distribute knowledge to a series of target groups outside the project’s consortium, we have developed several activities for general public with the aim to raise awareness on the importance of marine habitats, emphasizing their function and provision of ecosystem services, as well as on disturbances leading to their degradation and finally on the potential for their restoration. Here we present a short overview of several easy-to-make, low-cost interactive games, adjustable for all age groups, which were developed in collaboration with the biology students and presented during an “Open doors“ event at the Faculty of Science in Zagreb. These ideas could inspire other partners to design their awareness-raising activities within the WP9, aimed to general public.
