We collaborate once again with CRAM to protect the oceans

04/02/2025

At Barraquer, we are once again collaborating with the Marine Animal Recovery Centre (CRAM) as part of our Tinguem Vista project, now in its fourth year. After working together in 2021 on the recovery and reintroduction of Bernarda the turtle, we focused in 2022 on protecting Mediterranean forests in partnership with the Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications (CREAF). In 2023, we collaborated with the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM) to help conserve marine biodiversity. This renewed partnership with CRAM reinforces our commitment to environmental protection and marine biodiversity conservation.

The Tinguem Vista project aims primarily to raise public awareness about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and to encourage a shift towards more sustainable practices. By sharing the work carried out by CRAM, we seek to engage the community and highlight the crucial role these efforts play in preserving our biodiversity.

Raising awareness to protect our oceans

One of the project's key strengths is spreading awareness of the positive impact of initiatives like those undertaken by CRAM. Through educational content and local actions, we shed light on the challenges faced by our seas and their inhabitants, fostering a stronger social commitment to their conservation. We firmly believe that raising awareness is essential to building a future where people and nature can coexist in harmony.

Our newly sponsored turtle

This year, we have sponsored a turtle named Mel, a juvenile Caretta caretta weighing 12 kilograms.

Mel was admitted to CRAM on 28 January, thanks to the collaboration of the trawler vessel Josep Jan II from Cambrils. She was suffering from moderate gas embolism, but her condition has improved significantly following treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. Additionally, she had a wound in her right eye, likely caused by contact with the fishing net, which is also being treated at CRAM. We are delighted to contribute to her recovery until she can be safely returned to her natural habitat.

This renewed collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting new phase, reinforcing our mission to care for both visual health and the environment around us.

Through these initiatives, we aim to play our part in protecting the planet and preserving marine biodiversity. In the coming months, we will continue working to give greater visibility to CRAM's conservation efforts and strengthen the impact of the Tinguem Vista project.
