We Are Here Venice

We Are Here Venice is a nationally and internationally recognised Third Sector Organisation (TSO) working to ensure that Venice remains a living city. Founded in 2015, it is developing and implementing innovative, approaches to research questions together with practical solutions for restoring salt marshes, reinforcing connections between the best available sources of information, institutional stakeholders, and the local community.

Iinitiatives range from specific projects, such as nature restoration in the central lagoon, to education programmes and broad awareness-raising campaigns. The compact WahV team exponentially broadens its impact via collaboration with universities, businesses, cultural institutions, residents and public authorities to create projects and propositions which are based on rigorous research and bring concrete economic, physical and ecological change, measurable by social indicators.
