Fourteen projects are active across the Mediterranean today. Here is where the work is planned from, and the figures it has added up to so far.

Blue Meridian Ocean Trust, a registered charity founded in 2011, is based in Marseille. From here the team plans the three programmes — seagrass restoration, ghost-net removal and community fishing agreements — keeps the accounts and answers supporters.

Figures as published by the Trust. The ledger carries the running totals since 2011; each year gets its own row as its figures are released.

The impact map is built for eleven project markers, each opening its own card, and the ledger is built for one row per year. The brief did not include the locations and descriptions of the eleven sites, nor yearly figures, so the map shows only the Marseille base and the ledger shows the cumulative totals. Placing markers or filling rows without the Trust's own data would mean inventing results.
Once the Trust supplies the site names, positions and a two-line description for each, and its published figures per year, each site becomes one more marker and card, and each year one more row.
