Coast Day is an international event dedicated to the promotion of a sustainable use of coastal resources, to raise Mediterranean population awareness for the value of the coasts, of their conservation and of their protection for sustainable development.

Created in 2008 as part of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) campaign, it is coordinated by PAP/RAC, United Nations Agency, and promoted by the European Union's SMAP program and the World Bank's METAP project.

The activities and events for the Coast Day will take place over the weekend of 29 and 30 September and will continue over the weekends of October. Coast Day aims to promote sustainable development, the enhancement of the Sardinian coast and to raise public awareness of environmental protection issues, cultural enhancement and sustainable development, regarding coastal wetlands.

The Local Coast Day will start on September 29th at the Ex-GIL space in Arborea with a public talk entitled LA COSTA CHE VORREI / nelle nostre biografie c'è di mezzo il mare, in which writers, architects, directors, sociologists, writers and journalists will discuss the theme of the protection and enhancement of the coastal landscape.

WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN // FANTASTIC BIRDS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

Illustrated workshop for young nature lovers: bee-eaters, pink flamingos and nitticores. How many birds inhabit the coasts and wetlands!

Naturalists task is to discover how they live, what they eat, where they nest.

But what is the favourite colour of the osprey? And does the little brother know how to dance break-dance?

All that experts will never discover these animals will be the theme of the workshop, where young nature lovers will get to know the secret life of coastal birds with the help of sheets and markers.
