Lakes connect
Lakes, with their timeless beauty, allure nature enthusiasts and water recreation lovers throughout the year. However, this popularity often takes a toll on their cleanliness.
The LC project's aim is to find interinstitutional solutions to mitigate the negative impact of tourism on the state of our water resources.
As a part of this project, research units from Latvia and Poland in cooperation with Lithuania conduct pilot studies on the water quality of selected water reservoirs. Together, we've established a networking hub that serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, offering solutions to limit the impact of tourism on the quality of inland waters.
Through the organization of meetings and training sessions, we foster a collaborative environment where scientific knowledge synergizes with the practical challenges faced by local communities. International cooperation further fuels this synergy, allowing for the exchange of experiences and the development of best practices in collaboration between governing bodies, the scientific community, and other organizations.
Our project embodies unity, shared knowledge, and the promotion of responsible tourism. With robust partnerships and well-informed decision-making, we are actively enhancing the quality of lake waters in tourist regions. Together, we are crafting a sustainable future for our environment while championing responsible tourism.
