On the 17th of March 2016 members of the two LIFE projects, from the University of Patras on behalf of the LIFE DEBAG (http://www.lifedebag.eu/) and from WWF Greece on behalf of the CYCLADES LIFE, met at the WWF Greece’s office to inform each other and explore future synergies. The CYCLADES LIFE team presented the up to date results and outcomes of the project and the LIFE DEBAG team presented the project’s final plan that started recently. Both projects concern Greece’s marine environment and are implemented in the Cyclades region and more specifically in Syros island. For these reasons the teams discussed the possibilities for cooperation between the two projects and agreed to design and implement, at every possible occasion, joint or parallel actions especially in relation to the information and involvement of the local societies.
