The objective of the "Mar de Ciència" association, which was created in May 2019, is to shed light onto the reality of marine habitats. Through the principles of sustainability, social justice, and respect for nature, they intend to show society this reality.



 
The association has about forty members, mainly researchers and technicians in marine sciences from the CSIC Institute of Sciences of the Sea, all of whom have the will to promote citizen participation in projects that link marine science with society and sustainability.

The main objectives of this association are to disemminate scientific knowledge of marine studies, to communicate the value that oceans have in the regulation of the climate, and, consequently, the great importance of caring for them. The association also intends on organizing specialized training courses on subjects Mariners, spreading awareness of the negative anthropic actions for the oceans, as well as coming up with possible preventative and corrective actions, working on the historical memory of the marine sciences and the relationship of mankind with the oceans while promoting gender equality, and overall enhancing inclusive and ethical work.
