The theme of "Underwater Fauna & Flora", refers to the biodiversity of Europe's waters, a central concern for PostEurop Members in 2023. Thus, EUROPA Stamps creators will dive into European freshwater bodies and regional seas to discover a wide variety of underwater species. While inland waters including streams, rivers, floodplains, lakes, swamps, are home to around 100,000 animals and plants, with more than 33,000 aquatic species living in the seas around Europe. However, the fragile structure of the underwater ecosystems suffers from overfishing, pollution and climate change. The 2023 EUROPA stamp issue will support the activities of numerous ecological authorities to preserve and protect the underwater environments for future generations.
