Launching long-term conservation programs

Mare Nostrum is not a one-off expedition. It is the starting point of a shared, long-term commitment to the sea.

​

These encounters do not end when the ship leaves.
Together, participants initiate or reinforce renewable three-year marine conservation hubs, designed to support and strengthen Marine Protected Areas, local governance, scientific monitoring, and education in alignment with the UN 2030 Agenda.​

Host the expedition. Strengthen your territory​

You represent a port, a university, a marine protected area, a city, a foundation, or a coastal community. You want lasting impact — not a one-off event.
