Record-breaking temperatures: every year the same story
Every summer, the Mediterranean keeps getting warmer, with average daily sea temperatures reaching 28.54°C this August, the highest level recorded since 1940.
Sea the Change is looking for a junior professional to join its Communications and Marketing team as an intern, with the aim of supporting the growth of the company’s communications, enhancing the visibility of its impact projects, and developing commercial tools.
A pillar of the Blue Economy
Italy’s reputation as one of the world’s most renowned tourist destinations, thanks to its rich historical, artistic, and cultural heritage, is well established. However, with over 7,500 kilometres of coastline, the country is also a leading destination for coastal tourism. Like many Mediterranean countries, Italy relies heavily on this sector, which has become a strategic pillar of the national economy. Coastal tourism generates €28.3 billion in GVA, accounting for approximately 35.4% of the Blue Economy’s total GVA in Italy. It also represents 45.4% of the sector’s workforce, providing employment for around 266,000 people.
After months of intensive remote work, the REMAR project, funded by the Emilia-Romagna Region and carried out in collaboration with ISCOS Emilia-Romagna and CESTHA, has finally brought us to Mozambique. This international initiative aims to support the economic and social development of coastal communities in northern Mozambique through an integrated approach that combines marine ecosystem conservation, the promotion of sustainable fisheries, and the active involvement of local communities.
