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 saltwater 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.  Its 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.

This winter issue of 2018 features: The Ocean by Bike. Nathanael Herreshoff. Surfing the New Moon. Lewis Pugh, facing the coldest waters on the planet. Deep Gaze: eye-to-eye with a whale. The Winds of the Soul. Ryuzo Shinomiya. Suomenlinna: a Fortress in a Sea of Islands. Max Sirena, the Sea Inside. Tupira, Papua New Guinea: the ancient art of surfing. Saint Helena island.
