Bringing the Black Sea Closer: Biodiversity Carnival Connects Hundreds of Children with Marine Nature in Burgas Bay

On 29 May, more than 150 children from preschools and primary schools in Burgas took part in a colourful parade along the central streets of the city, dressed as jellyfish, seahorses, sharks, crabs, algae and dozens of other marine species, as well as lighthouses, boats, marine ecosystems, and even waves and sea foam.
