The Department of Ecological Transition and Energy of the Government of the Canary Islands has established its presence at the International Sea Fair (FIMAR), held from May 22 to 24 at the Muelle Sanapú, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The regional department is focusing its space on the Network of Observers of the Marine Environment of the Canary Islands (RedPROMAR), promoting outreach and marine citizen science. A new tent has been added, dedicated to coastal adaptation, climate change, and sea-level rise, as well as addressing the development of offshore wind energy.

The stand offers interactive content and immersive experiences to showcase digital tools that analyze the effects of climate change on the Canary Islands' coastline. The Vice-Minister of Ecological Transition and Energy, Julieta Schallenberg, highlighted that FIMAR is a "magnificent opportunity to bring the work we do from the Government of the Canary Islands closer to citizens in areas such as marine environment protection, coastal adaptation, or the fight against climate change".

This year, the fair places special emphasis on interactive and visual outreach. Tools developed with Grafcan will be presented to visualize sea-level rise scenarios in different areas of the Canary Islands, along with virtual reality experiences and projects funded by European initiatives. The Life Garachico initiative and proposals on offshore wind energy, including a simulation of a 250 MW offshore wind farm in Gran Canaria, are part of the content.

RedPROMAR continues its work of citizen observation of the marine environment, seeking to expand active participation in conservation. The fair, dedicated to "Outermost Regions and the Sea", addresses topics such as the blue economy, marine innovation, and Atlantic cooperation.
