Pure Ocean Story : Climate change, the 3rd cause of the collapse of marine biodiversity ️
The ocean is on the front line of climate change. It has already absorbed 93% of the heat generated by our greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the equivalent of the energy released by the explosion of 7 Hiroshima bombs. Every second. 💥
👉 From marine heat waves to forced species migrations and coral bleaching, the impacts are multiple and alarming.
Climate change is not just a challenge: it’s an emergency. Limiting the use of fossil fuels is essential to preserve the fragile balance of marine ecosystems.
📽️ Discover our new Pure Ocean Stories video to better understand these issues and take action for the future of the ocean!

A look back at a year of collaboration between companies and scientists for the ocean
In 2024, we led SOS – Sharing Ocean Science. This ambitious project brought together scientists, businesses and NGOs around an ambitious mission: to work together to devise sustainable solutions to protect the ocean.
📌 Why this project?
The ocean, essential to our survival, is under serious threat from our activities: pollution, overfishing, global warming, etc. We are convinced that effective cooperation between the economic and scientific worlds is key to changing the game, and the world of science has a major role to play in transforming our models towards sustainable practices.
An unprecedented partnership and concrete advances
Over the course of several stages, we have brought our consortium together in each of our countries, to draw inspiration from our respective practices and work in collective intelligence ⤵️
🔹 Marseille: Inspiration and Launch – The aim was to understand the needs of companies and scientists, while defining the main areas of collaboration.
🔹 Rome: Ideation and Co-creation – We came up with innovative solutions to encourage cooperation between businesses and scientists.
🔹 Samos: Prototyping and Development – creating effective, scalable tools that enable meaningful long-term action while meeting the needs of each company.
🔹 Marseille – Ocean Impact Forum: Closing and Validation – A unifying event bringing together more than 100 decision-makers to share the results of the Ocean Impact Forum.

Votre soutien en action : des tests polaires pour l'océan !
Good progress for the Citizen into Science project! This summer, it was around Greenland that Christophe Van Dongen and the crew of the SY Cavalou put Oceanovox’s VOX-1 satellite box to the test. This polar expedition, a pioneering example of participatory science, initiated the collection of oceanographic data by citizens in this remote region.
Did you know that there are around 14,000 pleasure craft on the high seas every year, compared with just a hundred or so scientific campaigns? This is where Citizen into Science really comes into its own: bringing together yachtsmen and scientists to collect oceanographic data that is essential for preserving our oceans.
Supported since 2023, this Ifremer project is proving its worth. Thanks to the VOX-1 satellite box developed by OceanoVox, yachts can now automatically monitor weather conditions on the high seas, while being tracked in real time via nano-satellites. The VOX-2 box, currently under development, will enable surface water analysis (salinity, phytoplankton, temperature, etc.) to be added.
The results will be fed into the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and will help to create a ‘digital twin’ of the ocean, for a better understanding of its evolution.
Tests in polar environments are a key step towards exploring areas that are still inaccessible and gaining a better understanding of our ocean.

Hidden Secret: A documentary from The Blue Quest at Nuit de l'Océan
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! 🌟

Tomorrow sees the start of the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR). What are you going to do in your company?
As you know, waste, particularly plastic waste, poses a major risk to our health. Today, we’re highlighting 2 scientific projects, supported by our patrons, that are taking a closer look at this pollution. ⤵️
🔬 PlastiDrugs: This project studies the interaction between microplastics and emerging pollutants (such as endocrine disruptors and antibiotics) to assess their combined chemical effects. Tests are being carried out in Brest Bay and Santos Bay in Brazil to determine the impact on filter-feeding marine organisms such as mussels and oysters, which are often consumed by humans. The aim: to provide essential data to better protect ecosystems and public health.
🧬 Synsen: Plasticosis, a disease linked to the ingestion of microplastics, causes dangerous cell proliferation in seabirds. The SynSen team had discovered this disease in a project previously supported by Pure Ocean. Now the scientists will study the effects of microplastics on DNA, to understand the impact on cellular aging and ecosystem health.
➡️ To best protect our blue lung and our health, we need to really understand these threats. Scientific research, allows us to study these pollutions and obtain data to strengthen public policies in waste management.
