The goal of my project is to solve the problem we have in the area of Barcelona, where we receive every day loads of tourism also by sea (cruises, ferries, vessels...), and that goes to the beach using loads of sunscreen, throwing plastics around with a regulation that puts first the health of our seas and second the tourism, because without a clean sea we can not have visitors. My audience are the local governments, and the regional ones, and also the maritime transport industry and the harbors. I want to rise awareness that by conserving and protecting our seas we all win, and that have to be our priority above the rest, because all those activities wouldn’t exist without the Sea, so that has to be the first we think about before the rest.
