We’re back again for another year with our three-part Mediterranean Cleanup. Our 4th Year!

Thank you to @ajuntamentdepalafrugell for co-organizing this cleanup for the 4th straight year.
The Jane Goodall Institute Spain and its educational program, Roots & Shoots, also joins us for a second consecutive year.
Thank you to all the collaborators who help make this day so unique with their boats, scuba equipment, kayaks, and paddle boards.
This is a free event since our goal is to raise awareness about the terrible state of our sea and beaches, while showing us how lucky we are with all that the Mediterranean gives us.
*The paddle board activity is only for young people aged 10-18 years old.
**All scuba divers must be duly certified and show their certifications to the corresponding dive center.
