Then all participants were split into 6 groups to paint the Black Sea map. The main task was to sign the key cities and to draw the answers regarding the Black Sea biodiversity. The groups were led by experienced trainers: Viktor Komorin, Galyna Minicheva, Kateryna Kalashnyk, Ivan Synegub, Aleksandr Kurakin and Olena Marushevska.
After two hours happy participants got such a product.
After some discussion it was decided to give this map as a present to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine to reinforce the current priority of the Ministry to protect the Black Sea.
All participants got the stickers, showing they became full members of the Black Sea Guardian Angel community and gifts.
