“SEAS has been one of the first organisations who believed in the Aegean Marine Life Sanctuary and supported its creation since the very early stages. The expertise and values that the team at SEAS bring, provides invaluable support that helps us continue our mission to create the first sanctuary for former captive dolphins and injured marine wildlife.”
