Collective Action for the Mediterranean: A Morning at Port Hercule
by Alexander Agafiev Editor-at-Large
March 10, 2026
In a coordinated effort to address the environmental health of Monaco's coastline, agents from the Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM) joined forces yesterday morning with the Monaco Red Cross for a waste collection operation around Port Hercule.
The initiative, organized by the Red Cross, saw professional port agents working alongside local volunteers. The mobilization was designed with a singular focus: the preservation of the marine environment and the protection of the Mediterranean shoreline, serving as an essential reminder that maintaining a sustainable environment requires consistent, granular effort from the community.
By focusing on the immediate perimeter of one of the world's most famous ports, the participants highlighted a shared responsibility for the spaces that define the Principality.
