The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most polluted in the world. To preserve the many marine species found there, seasonal workers go from boat to boat to warn boaters of the right actions to take.
In Saint-Raphaël (Var), all summer long, they go from boat to boat to raise awareness among holidaymakers about the vulnerability of the Mediterranean. They advocate eco-friendly actions, reflexes to adopt to preserve an exceptional natural environment: theîSea Lion lot.When you drop anchor, do you pay attention to where you drop anchor?“, a boater is asked. “We try as much as possible to find places where there is sand,” he replies.
The Posidonia seagrass beds are home to many marine species. Applications have been developed to locate them. They should allow you to park your boat in a location without causing damage to this ecosystem. For example, a seemingly harmless habit is strongly discouraged: feeding the ends of salads or sandwiches to fish. The Mediterranean is known for being one of the most polluted seas in the world.
