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.

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!

Our 6th Call for Projects drew an unprecedented number of applications, underscoring the critical need to support ocean research. We saw a strong participation from projects in the Global South, a region especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
💡 Every year, we are amazed by the innovative scientific projects proposed to protect the ocean. Yet, it’s distressing to see so many promising solutions go unsupported. That’s why your support is essential in bringing these ideas to life! But we are also distressed to see so many promising solutions that will not be able to be supported… That’s why your support is crucial to turning these ideas into reality! 🌟
🔍 Next step: 40 projects have been shortlisted to proceed with their applications and submit a full dossier for evaluation by our scientific committee.
📅 Announcement of results on March 21, 2025.
We look forward to discovering and presenting the 2025 projects to you! Many thanks to all the candidates for their efforts and commitment to our ocean. 🙏
