About us

At Save the Med, we carry out a variety of projects designed to preserve the Mediterranean basin. From marine regeneration and environmental education to community engagement, each initiative is focused on promoting regeneration and ecological awareness.

Our story

Save the Med’s story started in Mallorca when, one day back in 2011, a note on a shop window with a phone number attached read: “Looking for people to do beach cleans! Contact Stefan!” Driven by passion and care for marine ecosystems and the impetus for action, that phone number was called.

The rest is Save the Med’s history, an inspiring journey of spontaneous, organic growth, marked by countless magical moments where the right people emerged, often in the most unexpected circumstances. The organisation steadily grew and evolved into a Foundation along with its ambition to promote change beyond conservation and challenging existing paradigms around sustainability.

Since its founding, Save the Med’s aim is to contribute to collective action and collaboration for the common goal of the return of biodiversity by thinking outside the box, acquiring holistic understanding of the environmental challenges we face, and designing and implementing regenerative practices. This is not just an idea, it is a real and necessary coming together of movements, at local, national and international levels. It seems quite evident that our current socio-economic system disrespects planetary boundaries and that there is a need to learn, as a society, to live within the limits of the Earth’s bioproductive capacity and resources.

Vision, Mission & Values

Our vision is a healthy Mediterranean basin, and our mission is to promote regeneration through a holistic approach, helping local communities become aware and active custodians. We work with respect, passion, and collaboration to leave a positive legacy, uniting people to share knowledge and ideas for a sustainable future. Solidarity and care guide our efforts, as we believe that caring for each other and our ecosystems creates a harmonious, environmentally conscious society.
