One of the main objectives of the MedGardens initiative within the Cleanwave Foundation is to promote citizen science, as it is a key factor for contributing to the environmental development of coastal communities. This is why the MedGardens scientific team works alongside a large team of volunteers eager to dive into the sea year-round, playing a crucial role in the protection and restoration of shallow marine ecosystems in the Balearic Islands. This team includes sea lovers, divers, manufacturers, scientists, educators, artists, farmers, and tourists of all ages, all contributing uniquely to the MedGardens field work. With a wide range of complementary skills and a passion like no other, these #MedGuardians work hand in hand to actively protect and restore shallow bays. Citizen involvement is synonymous with hope.
