Twenty
Sirene 2015-2025. Twenty blue quotes.
Blue Affinity
Salt shapes, drains, and strips. It purifies. At sea, friendships take on a permanent imprint, destined never to change.
Swimming Heals
A magic place, a ritual at dawn, a documentary. At Bondi’s ocean pool in Sydney, you dive in regardless of the weather or the season, and friendships are made forever. Swimming saves our lives.
Aegean Sea: Islands and Destinies
A Greek photographer spent months sailing the entire Aegean Sea, collecting hundreds of images and stories in his nets. From island to island, like Ulysses at each port of call, he looked, listened, and asked questions.
An Island, a Community, a Boat.
Azorean whaleboats. A healthy story of change and adaptation.
No Paradise for Surfers
From Mahé to Farquhar Atoll, from Silhouette to Aldabra, the surf genesis in the Seychelles.
James Sturz
Journalist, author, Explorers Club fellow, he is first and foremost a man of the sea.
Folco Quilici: the Islands of the Day Before
Once upon a time, there was a magnificent and generous ocean whose secrets were known and protected by grateful people.
Messages in a Bottle
Thoughts, emotions, and wishes for the next ten years. From friends of Sirene, friends of the sea.
Gente di Mare Award #3
Master, Storyteller, Defender: three categories to tell the story of our relationship with the sea as we chase the ever-changing waves and currents. Third edition.
Water and Paper
Sirene is water, Sirene is paper
Water and Paper
Sirene is water, Sirene is paper
Sirene is an international award-winning publication, tailored for those people who feel close to the sea even when they are far away from it.
Large recycled paper pages, rough and porous as only salt water stains can be, large white spaces, pure as a sea horizon, and page-turner stories that will put you on the same wave-length with a surging community looking at the oceans as the intersection of the planet’s destinies.
Our paper is made from algae, to make use of excess algal blooms from lagoons at risk. For every half kilo of fresh algae, a kilo of wood is saved. The entire productive process has been scrupulously thought out to attain minimal environmental impact.

Passion
Sirene Is Passion
Passion
Sirene Is Passion
Surfing, freediving, stretches of ocean in the words of a solo sailor, islands, beaches to discover, customs and traditions of beach culture, stories of secret ferries, lost classic boats, whale sharks routes, reportings related to pollution and protection of marine life, create a narration in which sea lovers can relate and where they can find the characteristics of a common identity. Unlike other media dealing with sea sports and activities, Sirenes's approach is never technical but always emotional.
Sirene has been awarded a Graphite Pencil at the 2016 D&AD Awards in London and was Medal Finalist and Merit Winner at the SPD #52 in NY.

Sirene Is Where You Are
Two different versions – one in Italian and one in English – and two cradles, the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, where the attraction for water has grown in time into a culture.
Starting from Italy and California, through its webpage sirenejournal.com and carefully selected points of sale, SIRENE wants to spread and develop along the Mediterranean coast and the dry lands in the Pacific area until it reaches its readers wherever they are in the world.
