Munich. MINI Spain is endorsing Manu San Félix and his triple marine project "An Unexpected Journey" via the MINI Voices platform.

Through a three-part video series encompassing his main projects - "Posidonia Finder Free App", "Pristine Seas" and "Diving School" - the marine biologist, reporter and explorer shares his discoveries with others and provides information on how to protect and love the oceans. "People protect what they love, but they only love what they know," says the diver who has been researching and diving the seas around the world for more than 30 years. All three videos are now available to view on: https://www.mini.com/en_MS/home/minivoices/manu-san-felix.html

With MINI Voices, a platform has been created for people and initiatives that have the potential to change the world. In several European countries, MINI supports true drivers of change and start-ups tackling today's social challenges with their unusual ideas demonstrating how a sustainable and socially responsible future can be shaped.

“We fully support and endorse San Félix’s innovative commitment to sustainability and have been accompanying the explorer through some of his most unexpected journeys and discoveries. We are delighted to be able to support sustainable initiatives beyond the automotive industry”, says Carlos Martínez, Head of MINI Spain.

 

“An Unexpected Journey” – An overview

Chapter 1, “In Search of the Mediterranean Blue”, focuses on the well-known Posidonia marine plant, endemic to the Mediterranean, and the greatest discovery of the marine biologist's career. Thanks to the Posidonia Maps App, which San Félix developed together with a team of technicians, a solution has been provided to help preserve these species whose role is key in the Mediterranean ecosystem.

Chapter 2, "Teaching to Save the Planet", highlights the dedication with which Manu San Félix has been promoting knowledge and love for the ocean from his diving school in Formentera, exploring what led him to open it and the challenges he faces every day to ensure the future of the world's oceans.

Chapter 3, "The last ice", narrates how Manu San Félix’s intervention has helped protect pristine seas, that is, those that remain virgin to the action of human beings, such as marine reserves. Through his work within the National Geographic project “Pristine Seas”, however, the imminent thawing of the Arctic threatens to open new marine routes which, without prevention, will cross into these areas.

 

Manu San Félix: A life dedicated to preserving the oceans

In addition to being a renowned marine biologist whose project with Posidonia meadows has led him to make reports for UNESCO, San Félix is a photographic reporter awarded in 2004 (London) with the Wildlife Photographer of the Year and in 2005 (Antibes, France ) with the World Underwater Festival.

Since 2009 he has been working for National Geographic as Underwater Image Director for the Pristine Seas project, participating in 35 expeditions around the world.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
