On the 1st of October, ARTEMIS with its partner Ecoacsa and associated partner Institut Balear de la Natura (IBANAT) particpated in the Bosque Marino initiative led by Redeia. This growing platform fosters multi-stakeholder collaboration to regenerate vulnerable marine ecosystems, such as seagrass meadows and gorgonian forests, while raising public awareness of their vital role.
ARTEMIS at Bosque Marino initiative by Redeia | October 1st,2025 | Spain
Launched in 2024, Redeia’s Bosque Marino platform has rapidly scaled, and in 2025 it has deployed around ten restoration and conservation actions across diverse Spanish coastal regions from the Balearic Islands, Valencian Community, and Andalusia in the Mediterranean, to Galicia on the Atlantic side.
ARTEMIS previously took part in the 2024 edition of the Bosque Marino event, where our partner David Alvarez and Paula Castillo from Ecoacsa and associated partne Marcial Bardolet from Institut Balear de la Natura (IBANAT) represented the project and shared ARTEMIS’s approach to fostering nature-based solutions and sustainable blue-economy practices. The experience laid the groundwork for continued collaboration and knowledge exchange with Redeia and other actors in the field of marine restoration. Read more about ARTEMIS’s participation in 2024.
Highlights from the new activities
- In cooperation with Altea’s local government (Valencia), the program is installing eco-friendly anchoring systems and constructing artificial biotopes to protect Posidonia meadows from damage caused by conventional anchoring and to ensure more sustainable use of the coastline.
- In the Balearics (where ARTEMIS also operates one of its pilot site), the Project Netejamar, in collaboration with the Fishermen’s Confederation, is removing over 10 tons of marine litter, channeling recovered material into recycling systems.
- On the coastal education front, Redeia, through its alliance with Fundación Ecomar, has delivered workshops in six autonomous communities, reaching nearly 500 students and promoting awareness of Posidonia’s ecosystem functions and has engaged over 1,000 students so far and is extending from the Balearics into Alicante.
Ecoacsa continues to play an active role within the Bosque Marino platform, contributing technical expertise and engagement strategies that align with ARTEMIS’s vision for systemic, cross-sector environmental innovation.
