On June 30, the skippers cast off for the Transat Québec Saint Malo of which we are a partner, taking with them a precious cargo: poems born of the “A bottle to the sea” competition, which we had the pleasure of sponsoring.

This competition, on the theme of “The St. Lawrence and the Ocean, so big, so fragile”, gave everyone the chance to celebrate the beauty and fragility of our ocean through words. Now, these poems are crossing the Atlantic, carried by the waves and the courage of the sailors.

As a partner of the Transat Québec Saint-Malo, we are proud to support this event and contribute to this poetic and committed initiative.

We’ll be present at the finish village in Saint-Malo to share our scientific projects and our commitment to preserving the ocean.

May this poetic journey inspire each and every one of us to take care of our beautiful ocean!

Last Wednesday, we were delighted to join Arcanes, their partners Sage and Sagefondation and their customers for a day of commitment to preserving the ocean.

The programme,

A clean up to prevent plastic waste from ending up in the sea, while at the same time raising team awareness during an eco-responsible, high-impact teambuilding event.

A conference in the middle of the calanques during a boat trip to get closer to nature and raise awareness of its preservation.

During their afterwork at the Cercle des nageurs, our director Thomas talked about plastic pollution.

What a pleasure to have been able to work with such passionate and committed teams. Thank you for your energy, and see you soon for new conservation actions.

This summer, our Pure Ocean ambassadors will be taking part in the world’s biggest sporting event! 🥳🏊‍♀️

But our champion(s) aren’t just aiming for the podium in this upcoming challenge, they’ve set themselves the goal of winning the gold medal in ocean preservation! As Pure Ocean ambassadors, they embody our values and shine a light on our mission to support innovative scientific research projects to protect the ocean and its marine biodiversity. 🩵

We’re proud to support our ocean champions in their sporting events! See you this summer to follow their performances! 🤞
