Did you know that the destruction of marine habitats is the 2ᵉ factor in the erosion of biodiversity? From coral reefs to Posidonia meadows, each marine habitat plays a vital role for the ocean and the many species that find refuge there.

💡 A glimmer of hope: the recently adopted Nature Restoration Act enshrines an ambitious vision in French and European law. It aims to restore 20% of land and sea areas by 2030, to achieve all the ecosystems needed by 2050. This is a major step towards protecting our natural heritage and promoting blue growth.

⚠️ But beware: the marine protected areas that are often highlighted need to be genuinely protected. Today, fishing is still often authorised in these areas, undermining these essential refuges for biodiversity. There are many different statuses for these so-called ‘protected’ areas, blurring the true level of protection.

👉 We have a collective responsibility: to restore marine habitats, limit destructive practices such as trawling and mining, and preserve the basis of the ecosystems on which we depend every day.
