STM’s main focus areas are marine protection and pollution reduction. The organisation is based in the Balearic Islands, in the Mediterranean Sea – an underwater paradise that hides a blue world full of beauty.

However, due to its location, with human pressures from over 20 bordering countries and with a very limited connection to the open ocean, it is at the same time one of the most vulnerable seas on our planet. At a time when the world is facing some of the biggest challenges known to human kind, there is a global need to actively and urgently protect, restore and regenerate the Mediterranean Sea and its wildlife. With a firm belief that the only way to approach the root cause of any human created problem and reach lasting results is to involve those same humans into the solution of it.

The team at Save The Med believes that it is no longer enough to talk about marine conservation and work to preserve deteriorated ecosystems in their current state. We must do everything in our power to restore and regenerate these ecosystems and allow them to thrive as they once used to.

“The sea has a remarkable ability to recover, if we give it the chance.” – Brad Robertson, co-founder and president of Save The Med Foundation
