Esplora Interactive Science Centre is delighted to announce the successful outcome of an application it submitted for a project grant under the REMEDIES Open Call 1 2023!

The project, Island Guardians – For a Plastic-Free Med which is spearheaded by Esplora, falls within the scope of the European Commission’s Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters.

Island Guardians which is expected to run between February and August 2024, seeks to empower individuals or groups to counteract marine pollution through the use of easily accessible resources and tools. By fostering community engagement and providing practical support, the project aims to catalyse grassroots efforts towards a plastic-free Mediterranean. Through the challenging task of eliminating marine plastic pollution, this innovative project will be advancing the goals of the REMEDIES programme, by exemplifying the spirit of collaboration and environmental stewardship, offering hope for a cleaner, healthier Mediterranean ecosystem.

Together, let’s continue our journey towards a sustainable and plastic-free future for the Mediterranean and beyond.
