Comments and Feedback
Can you send information on how to protect parts of Cyprus from fishing?? we have seen a decline in marine life because of overfishing and was wondering what we can do to help..
There needs to be more awareness on Nissi beach, maybe more workers doing beach clean ups during the day?
