PAST EVENTS

Moments that Drive Change

Events give The Marmara Project a place to turn concern into conversation, and conversation into action. Whether we’re speaking at a forum, joining a local council meeting, hosting a screening, or gathering with young people by the sea, each moment helps bring the Marmara back into public view.

We show up because protecting the sea can’t happen in isolation. It requires communities, researchers, storytellers, students, decision-makers, and everyday people sharing what they know, what they’ve seen, and what they hope can change.

Every gathering helps us build new relationships, share the story of the Marmara Sea, and create space for solutions rooted in care, knowledge, and community.
