BioNike’s Defense Sun solar products have been formulated for one triple photoprotection, broad spectrum defense from UVA-UVB rays, protection from free radicals generated by infrared rays (IR) and long-term biological damage.

THE UVA rayswhich represent the dominant portion of the UVs, are not very energetic but they penetrate deep into the dermis causing photoaging. The UVB, are the minority of UV, but have a high energy content and are responsible for erythema and sunburn, as well as photocarcinogenesis. Finally, the IR cause the formation of oxygen free radicals, ROS, which help propagate long-term harmful effects.

Within each formula there are photostable UVA and UVB filters and the SPF Booster which optimizes the filtration performance.

The objectives set are two: an identification and geolocation operation of the different species of starfish, real sentinels of the health of the sea affected by fishing for ornamental purposes, within protected marine areas including the Egadi Islands, Ustica and Secche della Meloria.

Secondly, an activity of monitoring and recovery of waste and ghost nets, those lost nets that continue to fish, damaging the seabed. In particular, in the areas of Golfo Aranci and Capo Mortola, where gorgonians grow and remain trapped. Nicknamed the “sea fans”, due to their particular tree structure which makes them similar to corals, but more supple «Even under the fan of gorgonians hundreds of different species of animals find refuge and food. Thanks to the complex recovery operations of the nets, it will be possible to free these wonderful organisms, protecting the immense marine heritage accompanying them, “he explains Monica Previati, Worldrise marine biologist.
