Anèl·lides, serveis ambientals marins is an organization dedicated to marine environmental education and outreach. In Anèl·lides, the ocean is the center of knowledge and the city of Barcelona serves as a cradle for marine awareness.
The target audience is wide and diverse, as is the range of programs and services offered. Just as the ocean, knowledge has no borders and must reach everyone.
The name that identifies the company plays with the large edge of segmented worms that can be found in marine environments from intertidal areas to hydrothermal springs and feminizes the noun Annelids, being an organization created and founded by women.
The symbol of Anèl·lides, serveis ambientals marins is a red Serpula vermicularis, one of the most beautiful and sensational Annelids that can be found on the Catalan coast. It lives in a limestone tube that can be closed with a funnel-shaped and pale pink operclum. It lives on rocks or shells, in groups of dozens of individuals, in shallow and calm waters up to 60 meters deep. It feeds by filtering the water and when the animal feels threatened it folds its filament into the tube.
