The non-governmental organization Hydronauts was founded in 2010 by a team of people which has been taking part in a large amount of environmental activities all over Greece for many years. It’s main interest are the Greek seas and lakes and it had such an effect in people’s minds that the description ‘Guardians of the Seas’ is frequently used to describe us.

Acting and organizing costs money. As our NGO Hydronauts doesn’t receive any kind of financial support by public or private organizations it is really difficult for us to cover all the needed expenses of  our projects and events.
That’s why we’re asking for help with our efforts by making a contribution.

Our organization has been awarded by the president of Greek Democracy Karolos Papoulias with the prize “Island ISO 2011” that recognizes organizations with continuous, progressive and original volunteer social work.

If you love the underwater world and you’re interested in volunteering, networking and having fun – you can do all of this and more as a Hydronauts member. As a Hydronaut , among other activities you’ll perform  volunteer work to improve the situation in the Greek seas and you will “transfer” the “voice of the sea” in the society.

Being disinterested in profit and concentrated on such a novel and original idea we have attracted a wealth of media attention. In fact NGO Hydronauts  has received quite a few hours of TV and Radio coverage in the past in order to present and describe our work.

The Greek Hydronauts have the chance to enjoy the Greek seas at the same time they witness the crime that is committed against sea and sea creatures. The water doesn’t have a voice to complain and protect itself so this becomes our duty, our memorandum. It’s our obligation to bring its voice to the surface, and we have succeed in that by organizing a lot of environmental actions and underwater cleanups all over Greece.
