Save the Wave
Save the Wave is a UNESCO-IOC project dedicated to regenerating marine ecosystems and reconnecting people to the ocean through nature-based solutions and ocean literacy.
Since its launch in 2021, Save the Wave has led two pilot projects to restore Posidonia oceanica meadows. Through close collaboration with local institutions, partners, and experts, these projects have applied innovative methods, advanced scientific research, and involved local communities in ocean literacy and citizen science activities.
In 2023, Save the Wave expanded its efforts by launching a Summer School focused on ocean literacy and ecosystem restoration. The school empowered university students and early-career professionals with the skills to become the next generation of ocean stewards.
In the near future, Save the Wave plans to expand its efforts across the Mediterranean and beyond, working globally to support researchers and ocean advocates in protecting their local environments.
The first partner to join Save the Wave was E.ON, which has contributed to efforts to restore Posidonia oceanica meadow in the Gulf of Mondello and the Tremiti Islands in Italy.
