Robertina Šebjanič (SI)

The project addresses the current biogeological and morphological conditions in the sea urchin environment, which is aqua-formed by anthropogenic liquid waste, resulting in low oxygen levels in the water. Exploring the stressors of the local/global human footprint, the project demonstrates the resilience of the aquatic species. The project acts as an activation of (sy)(e)mpathia. The main research was carried out in the coastal region of the Adriatic Sea at the UR Institute, Dubrovnik (STARTS4water).
