as the main activity for primary school students. These schools are located away from the coast, so the children usually do not have the opportunity to go on a boat at sea. Most of them had never seen dolphins before. The goal was to provide the children with firsthand experience observing Black Sea biodiversity, focusing on dolphins and seabirds, and to encourage them to think about protecting these species from threats such as pollution and bycatch.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm flex items-center justify-center bg-token-main-surface-primary text-token-text-primary h-8 w-8\">From May 23 to June 8, 2023, a total of 98 students from five primary schools, accompanied by eight teachers, participated in these tours. Prior to the cruises, TUDAV gave a presentation on the Black Sea ecosystem and safety measures on board. Additionally, a detailed booklet about the Black Sea and the Istanbul Strait, including information on local species and the threats they face, was distributed to the children.<\/div><div class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm flex items-center justify-center bg-token-main-surface-primary text-token-text-primary h-8 w-8\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"><div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"><div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"><div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e0a42651-98ac-445f-be14-b51ac1189e80\"><div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"><div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"><p>The students had the chance to closely observe and learn about the dolphin and bird species that are an important part of the marine biodiversity in the area. Most of them saw dolphins at sea for the first time and quickly learned their names, recording their observations. BRIDGE-BS helped the students develop environmental awareness and become conscious individuals regarding sustainability and natural life. Accompanying teachers also gained valuable experience with nature in the Strait, which can further benefit their students in the future.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2ac0b03 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2ac0b03\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dff5ee5\" data-id=\"dff5ee5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1e9226 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c1e9226\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WP9-MS9.8-School-children-standart.pdf\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-md\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Informative Booklet for the Marine life at the Black Sea mouth of the Bosphorus (TR)<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous Next Dolphin-watching tours in the \u0130stanbul Strait with BRIDGE-BS In collaboration with Beykoz Municipality and the District Directorate of National Education, the BRIDGE-BS partner TUDAV organized dolphin and bird-watching &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/2024\/07\/30\/dolphin-watching-tours-in-the-istanbul-strait-with-bridge-bs\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Dolphin-watching tours in the \u0130stanbul Strait with BRIDGE-BS&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_meta":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11610"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11610"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11638,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11610\/revisions\/11638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bridgeblacksea.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
