THE SEA BELONGS TO ALL

We’re launching a three-part podcast about freedom of movement, militarisation and intersectiong struggles – from Lampedusa to Gaza – recorded during the first F.Lotta occupation of the central Mediterranean in September 2025.

The voices and stories of activists of rivers and seas from Sardinia to Tunisia, from Calais to Cyprus, from the Niger Delta to Palestine come together to reclaim our waters as a place for collective liberation.

All sources and interview transcripts here.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this final episode, we dive into the militarisation of our seas and shores – from Sardinia and Sicily via Calais to Cyprus. What does it mean for people on the move, for those communities facing structural abandonment, and societies at large? With some fiery music and insights by local residents from Lampedusa, we dive into how we can resist patriarchal militarism together.
