Eco-adventurer Noam Yaron is about to attempt the impossible again: swimming from Calvi to Monaco, a 180-kilometre journey through the Pelagos sanctuary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The 27-year-old Swiss swimmer is planning his next attempt in August 2025 after being forced to abandon his first attempt <\/span>at the same time last year, after 100 kilometres<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and 48 hours of continuous effort. Adverse currents and unfavourable weather conditions were stronger than his determination, forcing the team to call off the adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The exceptional five-day, five-night crossing is much more than just a sporting feat. Through the challenge, Noam Yaron aims to\u00a0<\/span>raise public awareness<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of the dangers facing the Mediterranean Sea, including overfishing, plastic pollution and water acidification. The Mediterranean has lost over half its marine species over the last two decades, and only 0.23% of its volume is protected to a meaningful degree.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
