The “Dedicated to those who love the sea” Summer Awareness campaign is part of the integrated communication and environmental education strategy to spread integrated coastal area management principles. It is financed by “P.O.R. FESR 2007-2013 - Intervention lines 4.1.2.b”.
Each year during bathing season, the Agency, in collaboration with coastal municipalities and land services for Sardinian pleasure craft, is involved in the distribution of thousands of cigarette stub pouches and information leaflets on the protection of the coastal environment.
The main objective of the Summer awareness campaign is to communicate the importance of the complex composition of coastal systems (dunes, coastal vegetation, Posidonia oceanica, etc.) and the correct behaviour to be followed both on beaches and at sea in order to protect the environment. Separate publications are produced for the users of beaches (Dedicated to those who love the sea) and the sea (Dedicated to those who love the sea for pleasure boating).
The back of the “Dedicated to those who love the sea” flyer has a map of Sardinia marking all of coastal municipalities. The back of the “Dedicated to those who love the sea for pleasure boaters” flyer has a map of Sardinia indicating all ports and docks; it also highlights the boundaries of parks and Marine Protected Areas. The two maps were created for free by the publishing house Carlo Delfino Editore of Sassari.
