Supporting the AWARE Foundation's effort in marine conservation

I’m raising funds to support the incredible marine conservation work of the PADI AWARE Foundation — and you can help make a real difference.

Across the Mediterranean, vital seagrass meadows formed by Posidonia oceanica are rapidly disappearing. 

These underwater forests are essential for marine biodiversity, water quality, and coastal protection. Yet 90% of Mediterranean seagrass habitats have already been damaged due to anchoring, coastal development, pollution, invasive species such as Caulerpa taxifolia, and marine debris.

The loss of Posidonia meadows signals serious ecosystem decline and increases coastal erosion. 

Protecting them requires stronger regulation, sustainable mooring systems, marine litter management, invasive species control and habitat monitoring.

By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping to protect critical marine habitats, restore ocean health, and safeguard the future of the Mediterranean Sea. Every contribution counts — and together, we can turn the tide for our oceans.

Let's raise awareness about this initiative by utilizing social media ads, promoting virtual posts, distributing physical flyers, and organizing a free dive event to document the situation of the Posidonio at the coast of L'Ametlla de Mar.
