Seven land and sea organisations uniting to address the eco-social challenges Mallorca is currently facing.
The scale and complexity of the challenges we face as a society demand a holistic approach and stronger representation and involvement from local communities. Only through collective action can we effectively safeguard Mallorca’s unique Mediterranean ecosystem, beloved by so many. The island’s land and sea are deeply interconnected, making collaboration between terrestrial and marine organisations not just beneficial but essential.
Over time, we’ve realised that we share common challenges and internal dynamics as we work towards the same goal: a healthy, thriving Mallorca. Yet, too often, we’ve tackled these issues in isolation, as individual entities. This is where the Land and Sea Alliance steps in.
The Alliance is designed to bring together and amplify our individual strengths—knowledge, experience, and resources—to co-create meaningful solutions to the complex problems we collectively face. Throughout 2023 and 2024, we prioritised cultivating a supportive and collaborative process, ensuring that everyone involved felt valued and at ease. This foundation of trust and respect has been essential for genuine co-creation.
Although initial discussions about the Alliance began in 2021, the current steering group was officially formed in November 2022, following a pivotal meeting in Binissalem. At this gathering, attended by more than 20 land and marine entities, seven organisations took the bold step of forming a core team to propel the Alliance forward.
Today, the steering group is composed of five land-based and two marine-focused organisations: APAEMA, CERAI, Fundación Iniciativas del Mediterráneo, Permamed, Fundación Vida Silvestre Mediterránea, Save the Med, and Arrels Marines.
Our shared mission is clear: to pool our efforts and work collaboratively to drive the regeneration of Mallorca’s land and marine environments, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for the island.
