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.

Mission accomplished for Challenge Entreprise La Goutte Bleue!
A big thank you to all the companies and teams who took up the challenge this year! Thanks to your commitment, we’ve taken another step towards protecting our ocean.
🙌 There were 2,520 of you, and together you collected 107,400 litres of rubbish before it ended up in the sea. Congratulations on this new record, we’re so proud of you! Your exceptional mobilisation shows that, all together, we have the power to make a difference. But the story doesn’t end here! 📣 La Goutte Bleue is a year-round event!

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!

Congratulations to our ambassador Jessie Kampman, KiteFoil World Champion 2024!
A huge congratulations to Jessie Kampman who won the title at the Grand Slam of Sardinia, the second and final event of the IKA KiteFoil World Series in Cagliari, on Saturday 5 October !
Two major victories:
🏆 IKA KiteFoil World Series Women

The whole team is so proud of you Jessie! You carry our values with passion, making the cause of ocean preservation shine on an international scale. Thank you and well done for your commitment!
Having grown up in several countries, Martin quickly became aware of the environmental challenges facing our planet. A Marseillais at heart, the sea is part of his DNA.
Today, he joins the Pure Ocean team on a work-study program as part of his Bachelor’s degree at Kedge, with the mission of bringing even more Pure Ocean Lovers on board!
The goal? Mobilize companies around concrete actions to preserve this fragile ecosystem we hold so dear. Together, we can make a difference.

From 4 to 14 October, the Fête de la Science brings together the general public to celebrate scientific discoveries and advances. Initiated by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, this edition puts the ocean at the centre of attention with the theme ‘An ocean of knowledge’. 🔬
To mark the occasion, the Living Colors for Pure Ocean exhibition will be at Université de la Sorbonne in Paris from 11 to 13 October. Produced in collaboration with photographer Christophe Chellaperman and Pure Ocean, this exhibition, which opened at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi last June, celebrates the spellbinding beauty of the ocean’s biodiversity. 🪸

2025 will be the year of the ocean! So why not start now? Last Thursday, we got the ball rolling with our sponsors at our back-to-school breakfast at the Cercle des nageurs.
After Charlie presented our 2024 projects, we discussed the crucial issues involved in preserving the ocean. Could your company make a positive contribution to protecting the ocean in ways you’d never imagined? How can your company minimise this impact? The challenges are many, and the health of the ocean is everyone’s responsibility. Every manager can make a real difference!
A big thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm, your ideas and your pertinent questions, which demonstrate a shared desire to make a difference.
📢 Join us and be part of those who, today, are taking decisions to preserve the ocean of tomorrow!
📅 Next event: the Ocean Impact Forum on Thursday 17 October at Club 29 in Marseille. Mark your calendars and get ready to take action!

Faced with the acceleration of global warming, particularly with the increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves, the ocean is entering a critical phase.
As a global climate regulator, the ocean absorbs over 25% of our CO2 emissions and captures over 90% of the resulting heat.
Its ecosystem services and rich biodiversity are essential to maintaining the Earth’s habitability. However, human activities-fishing, illegal fishing and various forms of pollution-are seriously compromising its ability to support life.
Scientific research, for its part, provides key elements for understanding the ocean system and paves the way for the discovery and development of solutions to preserve this vital ecosystem.
Proud of our ambassadors 💙 Meet Clara & Manon, a duo of young top-level sailors
In 2020, strengthened by over 10 years of friendship, at just 20 years of age, they decided to set up an ambitious sporting project.
🌟 Very quickly, the chemistry between the two sailors was revealed, and the results followed! In 2023 they were crowned 49erFX Junior World Champions in Germany.
🎓 But that’s not all, our sportswomen are also students: Manon is studying at Paris-Dauphine University, while Clara-Sofia is in physiotherapy school.
🌊 Their favorite playground? The ocean, of course. Today, Manon and Clara have decided to get involved in this cause that’s close to their hearts, because it’s necessary to act, and all together, we can change things.
🎯 News of their latest challenge: Manon and Clara finished 7th at the 2024 World Championships. Well done girls, we’re proud of you! 🌊
🌟 Thank you for your unwavering commitment and support, Manon and Clara!
