The Mediterranean Posidonia ( Posidonia oceanica ) is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and the most common seagrass species in these waters. It covers between 25,000 and 50,000 km2 of coastal areas, corresponding to 25% of the seabed at a depth of between 0 and 40 m. Posidonia plays a key role for marine life but also for the preservation of our beaches, where we wear our ethical swimsuits .

Arguably one of the most controversial and famous reports of the 20th century is The Limits to Growth report, also known as the Meadows Report . It was published in book form in 1972 and presents scenarios, based on computer modeling, of the consequences of economic and population growth . If you are still hesitant, this report should make you decide to adopt eco-responsible swimsuits .

" Ghost Fishing " is what fishing tackle does when it has been lost, dumped or abandoned in the water. Nets, longlines, fish traps or any other artificial gear designed to capture fish or marine organisms are considered capable of ghost fishing when left in the water.

It is not because a net is no longer used by fishermen that it no longer works. These nets continue to trap everything in their path, posing a major problem for the health of our oceans and marine life. Ghost nets don't just catch fish; they also entangle sea turtles, dolphins, birds, sharks, seals, etc. These animals get caught in these nets, often unable to detect them by sight or sonar.

The Healthy Seas initiative, which is doing a lot in the Mediterranean, was co-founded by Aquafil , an Italian nylon manufacturer that builds supply chains that source raw materials from waste rather than directly from industry. petrochemical.
