Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, the BRIDGE-BS project has published a new thematic volume titled “From Lighthouse to Lighthouse”, developed as part of its efforts to support the sustainable future of the Black Sea.

The book highlights the maritime heritage of the Black Sea, the lighthouses on the Black Sea coast, and their historical significance to its coastal communities. Prepared in line with the project’s objective to enhance ocean literacy, the book contributes to BRIDGE-BS’s wider mission of engaging citizens, young people, and local stakeholders in awareness of sea culture. TUDAV, as a project partner, has actively supported these efforts.

A Comprehensive Compilation of 40 Black Sea Lighthouses
The volume brings together 40 lighthouses identified collaboratively by project partners across the Black Sea basin. Each lighthouse was selected on the basis of:
• historical and cultural value,
• maritime significance,
• and representative relevance within the region.

“From Lighthouse to Lighthouse” provides readers with an informed and accessible overview of the Black Sea’s coastal heritage, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the region’s identity while offering new perspectives for cultural and thematic tourism. The publication addresses a broad audience and serves as a resource for both the public and relevant professional communities.
