We got to the moon before we got to know the bottom of the sea
[EN] In 2012, the then head of communication at the Institute of Marine Sciences, Elisabetta Broglio, promoted Observadores del Mar, a citizen science platform to collect data for the study of the marine environment and its biodiversity. Ten years later, the initiative brings together a community of more than 4,000 non-scientists with some connection to the sea and has already shared nearly 20,000 observations on species and phenomena detected mainly on the Mediterranean coasts. Today, Observadores del Mar has 17 scientific projects, with specific questions to which this community of citizens contributes daily to seek answers. A success also achieved thanks to the work of a coordination team made up of Joaquim Garrabou, María Vicioso, Macarena Marambio and Paula López Sendino, from the Institute of Marine Sciences, Gemma Agell and Maria Garcia, from the Centre for Advanced Studies in Blanes, and Sandra Espeja, from the Marilles Foundation. The platform is attached to the Citizen Science Office of Barcelona and, in this interview, we talk about its ten years of experience and marine conservation with Macarena Marambio and Paula López
