Puliamo La Sella! 2026. Over 250 Volunteers Join the 8th Edition in Cagliari
On the first truly sunny Saturday by the sea of the season, more than 250 volunteers gathered for “Puliamo La Sella!” at one of the most popular stretches of coastline in Cagliari, where the Posidonia sea grass washed ashore continues to remind us of both the value and fragility of coastal ecosystems.
One ton of waste was removed from beaches, rocks, and seabeds during the land and sea clean-up organized by the MEDSEA Foundation, together with a wide network of sports associations, citizens, volunteers, and many families with children committed to protecting the sea and coastline.

La Mediterranean Sea and Coast Foundation (MEDSEA), partner del progetto Interreg Euro-MED ARTEMIS, apre una call rivolta ad aziende private interessate alla conservazione e al ripristino del Mediterraneo per partecipare alla conferenza finale di ARTEMIS, che si terrà a Minorca (Spagna) il 10 giugno 2026.
Si tratta di un evento chiave dedicato alla presentazione di approcci innovativi per il ripristino degli ecosistemi marini, con un focus specifico sulle praterie di fanerogame marine.
L’evento presenterà i risultati del progetto ARTEMIS, incluse metodologie avanzate di ripristino e lo sviluppo di innovativi meccanismi di Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). ARTEMIS mira a ripristinare queste praterie integrando i benefici economici e sociali degli ecosistemi marini nelle politiche e negli investimenti pubblici e privati. Questi strumenti sono progettati per abilitare e guidare gli investimenti del settore privato nelle soluzioni basate sulla natura, offrendo percorsi concreti per contribuire alla protezione e al ripristino degli ecosistemi marini.
