Marine Protection & Science

The Bertarelli Foundation provides global leadership in promoting marine conservation and science. The trustees believe that if mankind is to use the ocean as a source of food and recreation, then it is also mankind’s responsibility to ensure that the future of the ocean is safeguarded.

About the Bertarelli Foundation

The Bertarelli Foundation was created in 1998 in memory of Fabio Bertarelli, father of Ernesto and Dona Bertarelli and husband of Maria Iris Bertarelli.

The Foundation delivers real change in the fields of marine conservation and science, life science research and in local communities around the world. By developing partnerships with scientists, NGOs, governments and local stakeholders it is the Foundation’s hope, that the projects it has helped to establish, will lead the way in addressing some of the most critical issues of our time.
