Poema del Mar welcomes Balonmano Gáldar Gran Canaria
Poema del Mar, the aquarium in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, continues to strengthen its connection with the local community. One of its recent highlights is its partnership with Balonmano Gáldar Gran Canaria, whose first team and coaching staff visited the aquarium in September to learn more about its work in marine conservation, environmental education and scientific outreach.
The visit brought players and aquarium representatives together for a different kind of experience, highlighting the values they share: teamwork, commitment, education and respect for the environment.
The collaboration is part of a partnership launched during the 2026 season, connecting sport with initiatives that have a social and environmental impact in the Canary Islands.
