Originally from Bordeaux, Piero has always had a passion for the ocean. Sailing in Charente-Maritime with his father, he developed a passion for the marine world at an early age. After studying in Lyon, he moved to Marseille, attracted by the city’s energy and direct proximity to the sea.
Drawing on his experience in the luxury hotel industry, he decided to move into the events sector, a field that really appeals to him. An adventurer at heart, Piero explored Southeast Asia backpacking for 7 months, an adventure that reinforced his commitment to preserving the ocean.
Today, as a work-study student at Pure Ocean, he is pursuing a master’s degree in event project management, determined to put his skills to work for the ocean.

Health of marine and human life: mechanisms closer than we think
Les scientifiques de l’Ifremer ont fait une avancée majeure en découvrant un mécanisme commun entre l’infection par l’herpèsvirus chez les huîtres et le développement du cancer chez les humains. 😱
Leur étude révèle que l’âge des huîtres influence la survie de leur progéniture, et que les jeunes huîtres issues de parents âgés sont plus sensibles à l’herpèsvirus OsHV-1, responsable de mortalités massives. Intriguant, cette sensibilité est liée à l’activation de la télomérase, une enzyme également impliquée dans les cancers humains. 🧬
💡 Cette découverte nous rappelle l’importance de comprendre les mécanismes biologiques sous-jacents à la santé marine. C’est précisément ce qu’étudie le projet Pure Ocean SYNSEN, lauréat 2024, qui va caractériser les conséquences de la plasticose, maladie liée à l’ingestion de microplastiques, sur l’ADN des oiseaux marins.
L’objectif de Synsen :modéliser les effets de l’ingestion de microplastiques sur le vieillissement cellulaire et les maladies neurodégénératives. 🩺
Une fois de plus, ces avancées scientifiques nous montrent l’importance de soutenir la recherche, pour comprendre et prévenir les enjeux liés à la santé des écosystèmes marins et humains.

C’est la question à laquelle notre coordinateur scientifique, Charlie Mathiot, a répondu lors de son intervention chez notre mécène Meeschaert.
Ce fut un moment d’échanges enrichissants, où nous avons pu sensibiliser les collaborateurs de Meeschaert ainsi que leurs clients aux défis environnementaux auxquels l’océan fait face, et son rôle fondamental dans le cycle du carbone. Merci à tous pour votre attention et vos questions pertinentes, et un immense merci à Emmanuel Bureau pour cette belle opportunité !

Today marks the opening of the 16th Conference of the Parties dedicated to biodiversity (COP16) in Cali, Colombia. At a time when ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, it is more urgent than ever to take concrete measures to protect biodiversity.
The decision-makers present have a huge responsibility: to act to preserve the richness of our planet. Our ocean, the Earth’s blue lung, plays a key role in our future. But without its abundant biodiversity, it is nothing. Remember that 90% of biodiversity is found in the ocean, and that 9 out of 10 species have yet to be discovered. It’s high time we understood the vital importance of this biodiversity and preserved it effectively.
At Pure Ocean, we’re calling for a strong mobilization to turn every promise into concrete action. The future of our planet depends on it.

A huge THANK YOU for the success of the Ocean Impact Forum!
On Thursday 17 October, scientists, businesses and experts met at Club 29 in Marseille to reduce the environmental impact of businesses and work together to come up with concrete solutions to protect the ocean.
This event marks the end of a year of European collaboration, as part of the European Erasmus + programme: Sharing Ocean Science for Responsible Business (SOS). This ground-breaking project has explored new avenues for fostering dialogue and creating synergies between scientists and businesses to support the latter in their transformation towards sustainable practices. What a wonderful way to bring this project to a close!
🔍 Highlights of the event : 🗣️ Opening by our Chairman and Founder David Sussmann accompanied by Samira Agem spokeswoman for Rolland Gomes, from PROMAN group. 📋 Interactive workshops on the CSRD directive, led by Anne Carmier from Utopies. 🌿 Inspiring testimonials from Séverine Fantapie and Alain Renaudin, who shared their visions for a sustainable future. 🤝 Conference: How can science and business work together to protect the ocean? Many thanks to Julie Ducret, Anne Carmier, Cécilia Barontini, Emmanuel Dujardin, and Christophe Mangalte, for sharing their expertise. Restitution du projet SOS : Après un an de travail, nous sommes très fiers de vous avoir présenté le fruit de cette coopération européenne.
A big thank you also to Paul Molga, journalist at Les Echos, for moderating these fascinating exchanges.
Pure Ocean is proud to have been able to organise this day rich in learning and collaboration. THANK YOU 🌍✨

Imagine diving alongside a freediving champion, exploring the depths of the ocean… For Jérôme Sampol, this dream has come true! At our Gala, he won an incredible auction experience: a dive with our legendary ambassador Gilles Gambini.
Last weekend, they explored the crystal-clear waters off Antibes together, an exclusive moment in the heart of nature!
Gilles Gambini is not only a freediver with a record of -87 meters, he is also a marine biologist, a scientific diver and a true guardian of the ocean. His mission? Inspiring and raising awareness through underwater adventures! Thank you for your commitment Gilles.
At Pure Ocean, we are convinced that immersive experiences in nature reinforce our desire to protect it.
✨ Join the adventure, dive into the infinite and commit to protecting our blue lung!
