Current: Bylaw amendment, reports at the general meeting, and new projects
At the general meeting in 2023, it was decided to amend the existing bylaws. This change reflects the fact that Mare Nostrum is not and cannot become a Rotary Action Group. Furthermore, simplifications and clarifications were made.
Please refer to the minutes of the general meeting for more details.
With the support of Mare Nostrum, two young winners of Swiss Youth in Science were able to participate in a research trip around the Azores this year. On board a sailing ship operated by the "Sail and Explore Association," they took water samples and gained insight into the issue of plastic pollution.

The project "Ghost Nets Portugal," initiated by Rotarian Urs Endress, addresses the issue of lost or discarded fishing gear in the sea. Countless marine animals perish in these drifting nets.
The project's goal is to establish a self-sustaining circular economy for these plastics. Mare Nostrum has taken the lead in this effort.
