Island Guardians project receives Special Mention Award

Esplora is very happy to have been awarded a Special Mention by the Society4Med Award organised by BlueMissionMed.

The Island Guardians project was “recognized for its holistic approach, combining beach cleanups with well-structured educational programmes, including toolkits, books, and an art exhibition” in the Category ‘Awareness and communication campaigns/activities’.

The Society4Med Award, launched in collaboration with CNR, FVA, La Saison Bleue and WWF, aims to showcase the societal commitments of Mediterranean organisations towards the EU Mission: Restore Our Ocean and Waters and to present actions and initiatives which contribute to the Mission’s objectives.

The Island Guardians project will be included in Society4Med’s booklet of BlueMissionMed project and will be widely disseminated through the project’s channels.

We thank the jury and BlueMissionMed for their recognition of our efforts. We also thank Remedies and EU Mission Ocean for their unwavering support.

We would like to congratulate all Award and Special Mention winners and look forward to working with more and more organisations like these to tackle the huge challenge of plastic pollution in the Mediterranean.
