Entities mobilizing the BioMARató 2024
The mobilizing entities have a crucial function in the BioMARató, since they are in charge of organizing trips to the sea with the volunteers who want to participate along the three provinces of the Catalan coast. They organize snorkeling and diving trips, as well as underwater photography and marine species identification courses.

Its main base is in the Urbanization Les 3 Cales, right next to the N340 on the seafront and is open all year round. During the summer it can also be found in the house they have in the same urbanization in front of the sea, next to the Sant Jordi d’Alfama Castle – between Sant Jordi and Cala Vidre beaches, two of the beaches most frequented by divers of the area for its great beauty and ease of parking. The Port of Calafat is where they moor their boat, the Planktonsita.
