For this reason, projects such as Silmar are essential and that is why we are part of it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;67819&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The project already has a network of 20 stations along the Catalan and Balearic coasts. These include one sponsored by Diagonal Mar.<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Silmar project has a network of monitoring stations along the Catalan and Balearic coast, including one sponsored by the Diagonal Mar shopping centre. Taking care of our environment is one of our priorities, and for this reason, in 2018 we opened our Silmar station, the first one on the beaches of Barcelona, specifically on the Mar Bella. A commitment to sustainability to create a society that is more respectful of the environment that gives us so much: the Sea.\r\n\r\nThe RAED Foundation, the entity behind the project, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of human knowledge through different projects, integrating the improvement and conservation of the Biosphere, the sea and its biodiversity.\r\n\r\nFind out more about the Silmar project and the RAED Foundation and collaborate actively in the conservation of the sea at www.fundacionraed.org[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;67826&#8243;][vc_column_text]En el proyecto Silmar tambi\u00e9n colaboran:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;0px&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;67912&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;67915&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;67810&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]Seabeds with waste at the Mar Bella Silmar station[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; gap=&#8221;0px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fila-descargas&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Our sea, month by month<\/h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDiscover the latest updates from our marine monitoring station and how we contribute to the study and conservation of the Mediterranean.
