Summer 2023
Save the Med is a foundation located in the Balearic Islands whose mission is to enable the Mediterranean Sea to recover its rich biodiversity and thrive in harmony with prosperous local populations that are environmentally aware and proactive.
The Changemakers project by Save the Med invites students from across the Balearic Islands to form teams and generate innovative, impactful ideas aimed at reducing plastic consumption. By participating, these students actively contribute to fostering significant environmental change within their local communities.
The Love the Med program, in partnership with Ocean Observer SL, provided the Changemakers participants and winners access to the vessel "Stenella." This opportunity enabled the winners to spend a day understanding the Mediterranean Sea's fauna and collaborating with researchers in studying microplastics, involving them in hands-on sampling and analysis activities in the bay.
