Step into the "From Sea to Street" project, a captivating citizen science venture aiming to better understand and strengthen people’s relationship with the ocean (and the seas) through street art. This initiative addresses critical ocean challenges such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Collaborating with artists, tour guides, marine institutions and all sea lovers, an interdisciplinary team of young scientists will curate a cross-national collection of ocean/sea-themed murals across three European countries: Spain, Latvia and the Netherlands.
Murals, impactful artworks painted directly onto walls, represent an art form resonating in numerous European cities. These creations have the potential to evoke emotions, educate, inspire, and illuminate crucial issues, often depicting intricate relationships between humanity and the environment. The "From Sea to Street" initiative recognizes the murals' potential to bridge the gap between urban populations and the coastal and marine environment.
