Slovenia's murky waters (an investigation into water safety)

Slovenia

Description

The project will investigate the extent of cyanobacterial blooms — whether noticeable or not — and the presence of cyanotoxins in Slovenian waters, exploring gaps or weaknesses in legislation, monitoring, and public safety practices.

“Data tells us what is in the water. The stories from our community tell us why it matters. Our job is to fuse the two – the scientific proof and the human cost – into a narrative that is hard to ignore.” — Maja Čakarićorem
