From Corfu to Crete, we say NO to extraction, YES to life!

The exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons mean only disaster for Corfu
To declare the Greek Trench a Marine Protected Area

Hydrocarbon exploration and extraction pose a direct threat to the already endangered and vulnerable species (sperm whales, Cuvier’s beaked whale, Mediterranean seal, and other species of whales and dolphins…) of the internationally recognised “Greek Trench”.
The Ionian and Cretan seas will be destroyed by the environmental impact. A serious incident of oil pollution in our country would have devastating effects for decades on the tourism industry and fishing activity in the Ionian Sea, Western Greece and Crete.
The continued investment in fossil fuels is mathematically leading us to climate crisis.
