A green boat for whale watching: TZ and Costa Balenae for maritime biodiversity!
Summertime in Europe means beaches, relaxing, sunbathing, and swimming to name just a few,.. Our continent is incredibly rich with unexplored spots and wonderful beaches: on the other hand, centuries of navigation, commerce, climate change, pollution and tourism have forced us to adopt a more conscious and respectful attitude towards marine biodiversity and to be aware of environmental consequences; indeed all the above-mentioned factors pose major threats to deep sea ecosystems.
Unquestionably, the Ligurian coast is magnificent example of one of the most beautiful and uncontaminated maritime areas in Southern Europe, with its wild nature, hidden coves and crystalline waters.
Teezily fully supports the brilliant and admirable initiative sponsored by the Costa Balenae association, which aims to maintain and preserve the biodiversity and marine ecosystem in Liguria and Southern France.
The cooperative company was born in Imperia in 2013, as part of the International Pelagos Sanctuary, bringing together several biologists and naturalists with a strong passion for cetaceans: Costa Balenae is notably involved in whale watching, as they organize excursions to Liguria and Cote d’Azur combined with environmental science lessons. Participants have the chance to live a once-in-a-lifetime experience, watching numerous whales up close living in the Ligurian Sea (keeping in mind the international laws concerning maritime preservation).
Patrizia Patti, co-founder of Costa Balenae, decided to use Teezily to launch a t-shirt campaign, aiming to raise funds for a praise worthy project that the association has been driving forward in the last few months: their mission is to build a 100% environmentally sustainable boat, complete with hybrid engines and realised by using natural materials.
A limited number of people (around 70) will live the once-in-a-lifetime experience to be close to these whales and dolphins, and be able to listen to their sounds and puffs, since the boat engine will be totally silent while remaining respectful of the marine biodiversity. As Patrizia Patti underlines, this mission represents “a brand new idea in whale watching, with regards to the environment and living beings”.
You have until the 19th of August to get your own shirt and to offer your precious help to this wonderful initiative! The sales’ benefits will fully finance their project.
