SeaSpore: Science, Engineering and Art

A partnership blending art and science to regenerate marine ecosystems. Held at the Espacio Bluewave Alliance in Barcelona's Port Olímpic, this exhibition by artist Felipe Costa raises funds to support CoralSoul’s Deep Core project.

A scientific and outreach expedition led by Andrea and Marco Spinelli. The project combines underwater exploration, citizen science, and visual storytelling to discover unexplored areas and protect the Mediterranean's most vulnerable ecosystems.

A cultural and educational awareness project designed to spark conversation around the marine crisis. Through engaging talks and powerful immersive visual experiences, this initiative aims to reconnect society with nature and bring the ocean closer to vulnerable groups.

A project alongside Marilles Foundation to secure the declaration of a Marine Reserve across 85 km of the Tramuntana coast. This initiative aims to protect its biodiversity and demonstrate the socio-economic benefits that marine conservation brings to local communities.

An urban summer camp at Barcelona's Port Olímpic that transforms children into young marine scientists. An educational adventure to discover local biodiversity and the environmental challenges facing our coasts.

A summer camp in Formentera where children dive into the world of marine biology. An experiential learning program alongside Asociación Vellmarí to help them fall in love with the sea and learn to protect it from within the water.

A strategic initiative led by Manu San Felix and Asociación Vellmarí driving the creation of "no-take" marine reserves in the Spanish Mediterranean. Aligned with the UN's global goal, it aims to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

We transform art into a powerful conservation tool for the Mediterranean through exhibitions with international artists and Studio 46. An invitation to connect with the sea through creativity and commitment.

An audiovisual contest that uses underwater photography to reveal the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and document its conservation status. An initiative that merges art, ethics, and science to encourage active citizen participation in protecting the marine environment.

An educational children's book by Alex Avello featuring a newborn whale starting to discover the world around her. A story designed to plant the seeds of respect and love for our oceans in the youngest generations.

Condrik is a project created by young marine biologists in the Canary Islands to research and conserve sharks and rays using non-invasive methods such as BRUVs, drones and collaboration with local fishermen. Between January and July 2025, they carried out twelve field trips in Tenerife, recording five species of elasmobranchs and prospecting more than 12,000 marine hectares, many in protected areas. Also noteworthy is the unprecedented sighting of a live black devil fish near the coast and the participation in the Tenerife Deep Shark Mission campaign, with the first dive in Spain in a manned submarine with bait to study sharks and rays.

An educational project that aims to raise awareness among young children about the importance of conserving the ocean and its biodiversity. By teaching them about issues such as plastic pollution, overfishing and climate change, it encourages future generations to take responsibility for and commit to protecting the environment.

This project aims to establish a citizen observation network to monitor the effects of climate change along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. It will engage recreational divers in collecting scientific data and raising public awareness. Led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), OdM Climate launched in 2025.

ArtMed was an exhibition organized by Studio 46 and the Bluewave Alliance that merges art and activism to highlight marine conservation. Coinciding with the 37th America's Cup, 11 international artists interpret the beauty and vulnerability of the Mediterranean.

Waves of Tomorrow is a series produced by Bluewave Alliance and Odicean Studios, highlighting the crucial role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in conserving the Mediterranean Sea. Despite being one of the most polluted seas in the world, the Mediterranean is home to unique biodiversity.

At Bluewave Alliance, we recognise that the Mediterranean is the most plastic-polluted sea in the world. That’s why we have teamed up with The Gravity Wave to fight this threat.

We are working on a marine regeneration project aimed at preserving and restoring the benthic communities of the Port of Barcelona, transforming grey areas into blue oases.

At Bluewave Alliance, we are dedicated to conserving marine habitats and ecosystems, working closely with the Vellmarí Association, founded and led by Manu San Félix.
