• It will take place from October 30 to November 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Puerto Banús Club de Mar, next to Dolce & Gabbana.
• This initiative is part of the Marine Environmental Awareness, Education and Conservation Project developed by the Aula del Mar Mediterráneo Foundation for ‘Málaga+Viva’, the Climate Change program of the Provincial Council.

The Provincial Council of Málaga, together with the Aula del Mar Mediterráneo Foundation (FAMM), aim to raise public awareness across the municipalities of the province about the need to conserve and restore marine and coastal ecosystems in the face of climate change. A central part of this initiative is the traveling exhibition “Restauramar,” which will arrive in Marbella on October 30 thanks to the collaboration of both the Marbella City Council and Puerto Banús.

The exhibition, located at the Club de Mar in Puerto Banús, will be inaugurated by Benjamín Sánchez Morett, Director of the Puerto Banús Sustainability Committee, and Juan Antonio López, President of FAMM.

“This important exhibition adds to the different activities that Puerto Banús has been developing with the goal of preserving our environment and promoting good practices among our employees, clients, and visitors for the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems. It is crucial to spread knowledge and raise awareness in our society, so that the commitment to the planet becomes stronger and more tangible — and this exhibition helps achieve that,” said Benjamín Sánchez Morett. “From the foundation, we thank the generosity and collaboration of the Marbella City Council and Puerto Banús, which have made this first exhibition possible, and of course, the Provincial Council of Málaga for this project,” added Juan Antonio López.

The exhibition will feature a daily Participatory Activities Program (from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) guided by environmental educators, and will be open free of charge to pre-booked groups as well as interested individuals.

The exhibition is divided into three thematic areas:

• Biodiversity in the coastline and marine environment of the province of Málaga: contains a reference to the main marine and coastal ecosystems, with a description of their seabed as well as the different species that can be observed on the Málaga coast: sharks, cetaceans, turtles and jellyfish.
• Challenges that the seas and oceans face: plastics, how long they take to degrade, the problem of microplastics and how they have entered the food chain. We will report on the effects of climate change on the marine environment, such as the rise in water temperature and its consequences; about the increase in the number of invasive species in the Mediterranean and why there are more and more jellyfish plagues on our coasts.
• Good practices that care for the sea: with images and brief descriptions of ecosystem services, the Sustainable Blue Economy, Research and conservation projects, coastal and marine environment restoration actions, environmental volunteering and new currents for a “Change of Trend ”.

This action is part of the Dissemination, Education and Marine Environmental Conservation project that the Aula del Mar Mediterráneo Foundation develops for “Málaga+Viva”, the Climate Change program of the Provincial Council.
