Our Resource Center
MEDASSET’s Resource Centre comprises of books, scientific articles and technical reports in paper and digital format as well as videos, DVDs, photos and slides.
We collect material on the marine environment, vulnerable marine species and their natural habitats, sea turtles being our flagship species.
Help Us Make A Difference!
Our team works passionately to help slow down the rate of marine biodiversity loss around the Mediterranean, so that sea turtles and all forms of marine life are no longer threatened with extinction.
We need your help to keep up our efforts!
Citizen Science!
The active involvement of citizens in scientific research is crucial for sufficient data collection. New technologies, like mobile applications, allow citizens to actively participate in environmental research and conservation.
With SEAlly© mobile app, sea lovers can easily record sea turtle and/or shark sightings in the Mediterranean Sea!
Now, the protection of the species is in your hands!
