Five years ago we presented, with emotion and a touch of vertigo, the firstBalearic Sea Report in the Parliament of the Balearic Islands. It seemed like an almost impossible challenge: getting dozens of researchers from twenty-five institutions to work together to make the best scientific information available about our sea available to citizens and managers. Today, looking back, we can proudly say that not only have we overcome that challenge, but it has grown, consolidated, and improved over time.
