Port Adriano is located in a privileged setting between the marine reserves of El Toro and Illes Malgrats, which have high ecological and fishing value due to the diversity of habitats, benthic communities, and marine fauna that can be found. In the circalittoral and infralittoral rocky bottoms, large sedentary fish species inhabit. Extensive meadows of the phanerogam Posidonia oceánica cover large areas.

Our commitment to conservation and protection of the sea and coastal environment is based on:

• Optimize water and energy consumption.
• Prevent pollution.
• Promote selective waste collection.
• Control and reduce air and noise pollution.
• Define and ensure emergency plans.
• Comply with applicable legislation.
• Train workers in sustainability and occupational health.
• Encourage proactive and positive environmental practices among users, customers and suppliers.
• Initiate these practices ourselves with events such as Plastic Day or collaborate with important associations and causes such as The Seabin Project, Fundación Palma Aquarium, Ayuntamiento de Calvià Posidonia Anchoring Campaign, Mar de Fondo, Project Zero, Save the Med etc.

In 2020, Port Adriano launched the Circular Economy Project, linked to SDGs 12, 13 and 14.

Our goal is to work to guarantee sustainable consumption and production methods by implementing processes to avoid food loss, encourage reuse and recycling, promote eco-friendly use of chemicals, reduce waste generation and minimize sea pollution.

The strategic objectives of Port Adriano in our circular economy approach are:

• Enhance the reduction of generated waste.
• Increase the amount of waste that is recycled.
• Create awareness about sustainability.

Seabin Project Collaboration

In 2017, thanks to the collaboration with the Seabin Project, consisting of the installation of a revolutionary floating bin that collects plastics from the sea, Port Adriano received an award from the Balearic Government for the best CSR initiative, being the first pilot Seabin port.

Collaboration agreement between Port Adriano and the Fundación Palma Aquarium

Since the collaboration agreement between Port Adriano and the Fundación Palma Aquarium, the conservation of biodiversity in our seas and oceans has been actively promoted. From this agreement, three main lines of action arise:

3. Conduct training and awareness sessions for various stakeholders such as students, port users and workers.
4. Dissemination of didactic material based on environmental education and sustainability.
5. Active maintenance of an assistance system for endangered marine species, which focuses especially on the recovery and treatment of sea turtles.

Environmental Education. Actions:

• Training sessions for all students of sailing schools and paddle surf.
• Elimination of single-use plastics in all port offices.
• Cleanup of El Toro beach and the entire marine area where schools sail.
• Informative talks to all businesses in the port.
• Distribution of a brochure of good environmental practices to all boats.
• Continuous training and recycling for port work teams.

Project Zero Exhibition

Brought from the famous Carnaby Street in London, this exhibition in support of Project Zero aims to raise awareness about the problem of plastic waste in our oceans. The exhibition has been made with plastic bottles, jerry cans, detergent containers… all collected from our seas, or made with materials

100% recycled and eco-friendly, including the paints.

Project Zero is an NGO that works for the protection of the oceans, with multiple projects around the world and important ambassadors. Go here to find out how you can help with just one gesture by changing your habits: www.weareprojectzero.org
