The CEAS of Nora is a center for environmental education and the protection of marine fauna, with a Cetacean and Sea Turtle Recovery Center.
The "Biodiversity Trail" and the "Cetacean Gallery" tell the story of ecosystems, protected species, and the impact of human activities on the environment.

Digitalization and immersive content
The "Pula Digital Heritage" project uses advanced 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and digital modeling technologies to document the area's historical, archaeological, and landscape sites.
Digital models and immersive content allow you to explore heritage even remotely, offering an experience accessible to all and supporting research, dissemination and education activities.
The virtual visits and immersive itineraries are collected in a single digital platform, which allows you to explore the project's digitized sites in an integrated way.
