What we aim to do

Run a public information campaign during peak tourist season to promote respectful behavior in monk seal areas.

Key Actions

  • Launch field-based activities in at least 8 key locations (June–August 2025)

  • Distribute easy-to-understand materials about monk seal behavior and risks

  • Encourage voluntary adoption of the tourism code of conduct

Outcome

Tourists know how to avoid disturbing seals—and become part of the solution.
