Seventy years ago, the Mediterranean was teeming with life: seals, turtles, sharks and an abundant fish stock. Today, it is in a worse state than ever. Urgent action is needed to protect 30% of its waters, prevent ecosystem collapse and revitalize local fisheries.

‍

That's why Manu San Felix, a marine biologist and researcher with National Geographic and the driving force behind the Reserva30 project, has joined the Bluewave Alliance. Together, we are committed to restoring the Mediterranean to its former glory.

‍

Businesses must step forward to spread the vital message of unity in marine restoration. Join us in this hopeful alliance to restore the beauty and health of the Mediterranean by signing the following Manifesto.

‍

Together, we can make a difference. Let's make sure that future generations can experience the wonders of the Mediterranean as we did.
