de Haro Malo de Molina

I am a Naval Engineer and maritime professional with more than 20 years of experience in the nautical tourism and passenger shipping industry. Since 1996, I have been leading Mundo Marino Catamaranes, a family-founded company in Spain specialized in sustainable nautical tourism, environmental education, and accessible maritime experiences along the Mediterranean coast (Valencia, Costa Blanca, Málaga).

My professional background combines naval engineering, fleet management and innovation projects, from hybrid and electric propulsion for passenger vessels to the development of inclusive and cultural tourism programs at sea. I am also actively engaged in initiatives of the Blue Economy and marine conservation, collaborating with universities, research centers and institutional programs in Spain and the EU.

Key areas of interest:

• Sustainable and hybrid vessel design
• Marine biodiversity protection and citizen science
• Nautical tourism and cultural heritage at sea
• Accessibility and social inclusion in maritime activities
• Collaborative projects within clusters and the Blue Economy framework

I believe in the role of maritime tourism as a platform to connect society with the ocean, promoting awareness and sustainable practices.

📍 Based in Spain – working mainly across Valencia, Alicante, and Málaga.
