Through this new edition and under the title "Climate change and conservation of biodiversity in the Mediterranean" they are committed to raising awareness through the impact that is taking place in the seas, either due to causes such as climate change, as well as waste they receive. That is why they have launched this new biennial with the collaboration of the curator Carlota Loveart who will be in charge of choosing the invited winners of this new edition.

The Ambiens association has also joined this project, an active part since they are in charge of conserving the coastline of the Valencian Community in addition to carrying out actions with species such as seahorses, with studies such as SEAHORSE PROYECT.

For this new edition, two modalities have been created: the first will be to choose the guests for the artistic residency and, the second, to choose 3 winners who will be artist students of legal age enrolled in a Spanish university.

The deadline to present the works is from June 15, 2021 to July 15, 2021, both inclusive. Likewise, 10% of the proceeds received by The Sea Urchins Container artistic residency for actions, sales and on the activities, exhibitions and fairs that are held in this III Biennial will be donated to the Ambiens association.
