“Puliamo la Sella!” is back for its 8th edition on May 23
MEDSEA Foundation is getting ready to launch the eighth edition of “Puliamo la Sella!”, taking place on May 23, 2026. This historic annual event brings together environmental education, science, and a shared love for the sea in the stunning setting of Marina Piccola.
This year’s theme is “REDUCE”: we will actively involve associations, institutions, local organizations, and citizens to spread a concrete message of change.
How to Participate
Participation is free of charge, but advance registration through a dedicated online form is required.
This registration process allows organizers to better manage the event and ensure that all participants receive the materials needed for the activities, including gloves, collection bags, and MEDSEA gadgets.

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.
