THALASSA FOUNDATION

We support and promote policies for the restoration and preservation of marine natural resources of the Mediterranean Sea. Degradation of marine ecosystems due to intensive human activity calls for urgent action for their future survival. We are at the forefront against habitat destruction, overfishing and human-induced climate change... We put particular emphasis on the conservation of marine resources for the benefit of nature and its habitants. Marine protected areas, rare species, sensitive ecosystems, they are all in the centre of our initiatives. Through participation and environmental engagement we finally aim at sustainability, where communities are able to attain economic development without draining their marine natural reserves. We also enhance development of community entrepreneurship in a way that is fully harmonised with nature.
