🌎 World Environment Day

🌎 World Environment Day

On this special day, let’s remind ourselves of the urgent need to preserve the balance of our planet.

🌿 The environment is a whole, made up of a set of interdependent ecosystems: if one of them is disrupted, our entire planet and its inhabitants are impacted.

At Pure Ocean, we are proud to support innovative scientific projects that help preserve this balance. Thanks to the mobilization of our researchers, we are taking concrete action for a more sustainable future. 🔬

💡 Let’s highlight 5 projects we support, each focusing on a different marine ecosystem:

🌳 Mangrove: Mangrove Beekeeping aims to develop a local, sustainable beekeeping activity based on mangroves, beneficial to both communities and ecosystems.

🌊 Estuaire: PLUME seeks to build a novel Franco-Vietnamese model to understand the ecosystem services of estuaries and their resilience in the face of anthropogenic pressures.

🐙 Abysse: Antarctic Biolum, aims to describe evolutions in deep Antarctic macrofauna thanks to innovative 360° bioluminescence emission/detection.

🪸 Reef: Reborn aims to optimize and experiment with a lipid cocktail to increase the survival rate of coral larvae.

🌿 Seagrass: PANTHER is restoring a vast seagrass meadow to demonstrate the importance of this ingenious species, and to establish with fishermen a pilot model for technical and economic transition on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria.

By supporting innovative research projects, you are helping to maintain the balance of our environment. Everyone can take action and integrate environmental preservation into their everyday actions and decisions! 🌎

A look back at our awareness campaign with Airbus Helicopters!

A look back at our awareness campaign with Airbus Helicopters!

On May 30, we took to the skies with Airbus Helicopters for a special mission: cleaning up Corbières beach! More than 150 people took part, and thanks to them, 270 kg of garbage was collected before it contaminated the ocean!

♻️ This initiative follows an initial collection two years ago, as well as a dedicated conference last year. It testifies to the enduring commitment of Airbus Helicopters teams, who were keen to take part in this second action to protect our marine environment.

🌎 At Pure Ocean, we preserve the ocean by supporting scientific research projects. But we’re convinced that our mission doesn’t stop there. By raising awareness among the companies that support us, we raise collective consciousness and catalyze concrete action for a healthy ocean.

Thank you to everyone involved in this initiative, for their commitment and dedication!

The Buffer project is already riding the media wave! 📰

Last week, we told you about this project on our Mediterranean jewels: the red gorgonian sea fans. As a reminder, the Buffer team will be studying the genetic variability of this species in the Parc des Calanques to understand its resistance mechanisms in the face of global warming. 🪸

Led by Jean-Baptiste Ledoux, a researcher at CIIMAR in Portugal, this project is making headlines in the Portuguese press!

Proud of our ambassadors 💙 Meet Gilles Gambini, professional apneist! 🤿

Proud of our ambassadors 💙 Meet Gilles Gambini, professional apneist! 🤿

Originally from Nice, he discovered freediving through self-taught underwater hunting at the age of 10. In his first season of deep-sea training, he came 3rd in France and reached -80 meters by the end of the season!

🏆 Today, he’s a member of the French deep-sea freediving team and holds the record for 93m on the monofin and 62m on the breaststroke!

🔬 Alongside his training and competitions, he works as a scientific diver, marine biologist, underwater cameraman, scuba diver and freediving and diving instructor. As a scientist and ocean lover, his commitment to Pure Ocean was an obvious choice!

💙 His ambition? To pass on his passion and raise awareness of marine conservation through his professional activities, his sport and the expeditions he takes part in.

Pick-up with Rugby Club Toulon and Hyundai!

Pick-up with Rugby Club Toulon and Hyundai!

Last Wednesday, Sacha and Thomas helped more than 40 players from Rugby Club Toulonnais raise awareness of the need to protect the environment by collecting garbage. This event took place in collaboration with the RCT, bringing together 5 of their pro players and youngsters from the U14 section, with their partner Hyundai.

As a reminder, every second, 250 kilos of waste are dumped into the ocean. All the garbage left in nature is a threat to biodiversity. But we can all take action! Firstly, by reducing our consumption of packaged goods, and by picking up all the garbage thrown into nature before it’s too late.

💪 RCT’s sportsmen and women have understood this, and thanks to them, there are more than 𝟭𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗲́𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗶 𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗲́𝘁𝗲́ 𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲́𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗾𝘂’𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗿!

Well done everyone for this great action 👏
