ArtMed: Art for Marine Conservation

Condrik is a project created by young marine biologists in the Canary Islands to research and conserve sharks and rays using non-invasive methods such as BRUVs, drones and collaboration with local fishermen. Between January and July 2025, they carried out twelve field trips in Tenerife, recording five species of elasmobranchs and prospecting more than 12,000 marine hectares, many in protected areas. Also noteworthy is the unprecedented sighting of a live black devil fish near the coast and the participation in the Tenerife Deep Shark Mission campaign, with the first dive in Spain in a manned submarine with bait to study sharks and rays.

An educational project that aims to raise awareness among young children about the importance of conserving the ocean and its biodiversity. By teaching them about issues such as plastic pollution, overfishing and climate change, it encourages future generations to take responsibility for and commit to protecting the environment.

This project aims to establish a citizen observation network to monitor the effects of climate change along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. It will engage recreational divers in collecting scientific data and raising public awareness. Led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the initiative is set to launch in Spain in 2025.

Waves of Tomorrow is a series produced by Bluewave Alliance and Odicean Studios, highlighting the crucial role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in conserving the Mediterranean Sea. Despite being one of the most polluted seas in the world, the Mediterranean is home to unique biodiversity.

At Bluewave Alliance, we recognise that the Mediterranean is the most plastic-polluted sea in the world. That’s why we have teamed up with The Gravity Wave to fight this threat.

We are working on a marine regeneration project aimed at preserving and restoring the benthic communities of the Port of Barcelona, transforming grey areas into blue oases.

At Bluewave Alliance, we are dedicated to conserving marine habitats and ecosystems, working closely with the Vellmarí Association, founded and led by Manu San Félix.
