UGI creates, leads and promotes:
RESTORATION OF THE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
_______
_______
.
Nature- and Biomimetic-based solutions & projects.
Nature is constantly reacting to human activity. Day by day, this reaction becomes more severe as manifested by the crises of climate change and unprecedented biodiversity loss, and the ensuing secondary effects such as the SARS-Covid-2 pandemic. Yet at the same time, nature provides a whole palette of solutions to the global problems. Based on this, UGI has created a model capable of adapting to ocean and coastal conditions, where restoration and regeneration measures are needed.
SUSTAINABLE & REGENERATIVE COASTAL DESTINATIONS
_______
_______
.
An innovative, pioneering tourism product inspired by the Ocean.
UGI has created and developed Underwater Gardens Parks. A new coastal tourism product that is sustainable and regenerative. Science, sports, technology, education and art are combined so that visitors can enjoy themselves and experience unique and memorable moments of interaction with the Ocean and nature.
NATURE INSPIRED ARCHITECTURE
_______
_______
.
A new generation of unique and astounding underwater landscapes for divers.
At UGI, as seafloor gardners, we create and develop new and inspiring underwater landscapes: the Sea Gardens. Their landscape design offers divers the next generation of underwater experience. These exceptional spaces are accessible to all levels of diving and all ages.
A UNIQUE & INNOVATIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
_______
_______

The creation and construction of Underwater Gardens Parks, a sustainable, unique and pioneering tourist destination, brings this goal to fruition.
COOPERATION, INTEGRATION & EXCELLENCE
_______
_______
.
An International network of experts.
The global challenges we face are so enormous that we cannot resolve them through independent and isolated actions. Neither will acting out of self-interest or having an exclusively competitive mindset yield adequate solutions. For this reason, UGI depends on a valuable network of international experts that represent different areas of relevant expertise. Their cooperation ensures a standard of excellence that permeates all the projects we develop.
AWARENESS-RAISING & OCEAN PROTECTION PROJECTS
_______
_______
Raising consciousness and educating through recreation and entertainment
.
Our Underwater Gardens Parks are to be conceived as centers of conscience- and awareness-raising on the significance of the Ocean´s health. Through leisure, sport, science, art and recreation the visitors acquire – in a playful manner – a deep understanding of the value of the Ocean, of life, of natural resources, and how to be more respectful towards the environment.
ACTIVE, INNOVATIVE & INTEGRATIVE RESEARCH
_______
Advancing scientific knowledge as well as long-term independent research
.
At UGI we believe that active, innovative and integrative research, guided by a variety of social actors (scientific community), is fundamental in finding the answers to our global problems. From a scientific standpoint, our Underwater Gardens Park´s model is a monitoring station for climate change, which constantly collects and analyses key health factors of the local sea, thus contributing with data and knowledge to the global efforts.
SOLUTIONS FOR MARINE LIFE REGENERATION
_______
_______
In-house developed technologies and R&D
