On Thursday November 28, at the Cinéma Le Chambord in Marseille, come and discover the new The Blue Quest documentary by former Pure Ocean member Clément Pourtal.

Hidden Secret reveals the hidden treasures of the Mediterranean and highlights the links between several scientific initiatives we support to protect the ocean.

At the heart of this exploration is the Aegean Coralligenous project, which, with the help of local fishermen, has mapped coralligenous reefs, a rare ecosystem teeming with precious biodiversity. These reefs have attracted the attention of Under the Pole, partners in the Genesis project, who are collecting samples there to explore the secrets of this ecosystem for tomorrow’s medicine. 🌿🔬

This Thursday, November 28, let’s dive into the Aegean Sea for an inspiring immersion in marine science and beauty! 🌟

Every year, Caragum International mobilizes its employees around a waste collection for their day of solidarity.

On this Monday, November 11, at Plage des Corbières, 34 people got involved and 690 liters of waste were collected before they fell into the sea.

Bravo Caragum International for your commitment, the ocean thanks you 💙

Last Thursday we had the pleasure of welcoming Ambre Papazian, our IQ Foil athlete ambassador. For several years now, Ambre has been passionately carrying our messages, and her commitment to protecting the ocean is a true source of inspiration! 💙

During this meeting, we worked together on our ambitious future actions to act together in favor of marine biodiversity. Exciting projects are in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

➡️ Stay tuned for more surprises… ✨

Biodiversity provides essential ecological services, fundamental to economic prosperity. With COP16 on biodiversity currently taking place in Colombia, let’s take a look at the causes of biodiversity collapse, and identify the levers for action within your reach. Our collective and individual actions have a direct impact on the health of ecosystems. The good news? 💪

The main causes of marine biodiversity erosion :

1️⃣ Overexploitation of resources: overfishing, hunting, logging and other raw materials threaten animal and plant populations.

2️⃣ Habitat destruction: land artificialisation, deforestation and urbanization deprive species of their natural habitats.

3️⃣ Global warming: our carbon emissions are causing temperatures to rise, transforming ecosystems and upsetting the living conditions of species, which are becoming extinct or being forced to migrate.

4️⃣ Pollution: from plastic waste to chemical pollutants, our environment is deteriorating under the weight of pollution.

5️⃣ Invasive species: unintentionally imported as we travel, these species destabilize ecosystems and threaten local species.

So how can your company take action? 🌱 The possibilities are numerous: raise awareness among your teams, rethink your practices and value chains, organize concrete actions to mobilize your employees, support projects dedicated to protecting biodiversity… A multitude of ways to take action on your own scale!

🤝 D on’t know where to start? We can help! Your support as a corporate sponsor goes beyond funding scientific projects that are essential to preserving biodiversity: it’s a real partnership to engage your teams and reverse the trend.

Let’s take action together!

This is one of the striking observations shared by Olivier Poivre d’Arvor, the French President’s special envoy for the United Nations Ocean Conference, at the Nice Climate Summit. It’s high time we readjust our priorities to protect our blue planet!

Our director, Thomas, was present at this event alongside scientific, political and economic experts to lay the foundations for a global dialogue on the challenges and solutions for preserving the ocean.

The ocean is now classified as a “hot emergency” in international discussions. Good news? (Yes, but…) Unfortunately, this recognition is due to the growing urgency of rising sea levels, which directly threaten countries such as the Maldives and Indonesia.

The challenges are immense, and we hope that the Heads of State will take the measure of the situation with concrete actions at the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC ) in Nice in June 2025. We’ll be there to continue defending our blue lung!
