Watch the Med

Watch the Med is a non-governmental organization focused on monitoring and responding to the dangers faced by migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea. It collects data on boat departures, routes, and incidents to raise awareness of the escalating humanitarian crisis involving individuals fleeing conflict, persecution, or poverty. The organization works to ensure the safety of migrants by documenting search and rescue efforts, helping coordinate responses, and advocating for better policies to protect vulnerable populations. By providing this information, Watch the Med aims to inform the public and policymakers about the realities of migration in the Mediterranean region.
