Team field trip: visit of the SAGA submarine, a technological wonder from the 80s
/by PureoceanExtreme sporting challenges to meet today’s environmental challenges
Brice Bonneviale, a confirmed and committed athlete, is preparing to take up the Enduroman challenge between 21 and 27 June 2019. This triathlon of the extreme, starts at Marble Arch in London and ends at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, with three separate challenges: • 140km run from London to Dover, • Swimming across the Channel, • 290km road cycling between Calais and Paris. Brice Bonneviale and his dream team want to contribute to creating awareness on environmental issues. It is therefore natural that they have rallied to the cause of the Pure Ocean Fund. Pure Ocean aims to alert the publicto the status of endangered ecosystems and to highlight solutions to protect them through racing and sporting challenges. The adventure of Brice Bonneviale is the first in a series of events dubbed “Race for Pure Ocean”.
It’s #GivingTuesday and the Pure Ocean Fund needs you!
Pure Ocean Summit 2018
We are happy to share with you the highlights of our first Pure Ocean Summit.
On April 26th this year, scheduled around the time of the Seafood Expo Global in Brussels (the largest international trade fair in the seafood sector), Pure Ocean organized an encounter between researchers and key business players to better understand the issues and means available to save our oceans.
During a morning of exchanges and collaboration, the “Pure Ocean Summit” brought together Philippe Cury (IRD), Marie-Alexandrine Sicre (LOCEAN), project leaders from the Ocean Innovation Tour and economic players.
Seafoodia, sponsor of Pure Ocean and historical partner of Défi de Monte Cristo dived into the water on June 23th and 24th!
Created in 1999, the Défi Monte-Cristo is the most important open-water swim in the Mediterranean Sea!
On this occasion, the passionate and committed “Seafoodia” team decided to combine the mythical escape of Edmond Dantès with a quest for meaning to save our oceans and swam for Pure Ocean.
You can take part in the adventure too! Help us support our projects!
The funds raised will be paid in full to the applied research projects selected by the Scientific Committee of Pure Ocean.
