0.24€, 1.56€, 3,32€… What if these small amounts became a real accelerator for ocean research?
Pay rounding, the power of the collective
0.24€, 1.56€, 3.32€… What if these small amounts became a real accelerator for ocean research?
🍻 During an afterwork at our sponsor CBRE France in Marseille, we were able to raise their employees’ awareness of ocean challenges in a fun way thanks to an innovative card game developed by our teams. The aim? Get them involved by rounding up their salaries.
This simple mechanism allows each employee to round up their salary to the nearest euro (or more! 😉 ), and donate the difference to ocean research through Pure Ocean. A micro gesture that, multiplied by hundreds of employees, has a huge impact.
👏 Well done CBRE for getting involved! Companies, who’s next? We can help you set up the round-up and boost your commitment!

An active underwater volcano transformed into an underwater incubator: the amazing strategy of the stingrays!

À 1 100 mètres sous la surface, au large de la côte pacifique du Canada, une découverte fascinante vient de révéler un secret bien gardé des profondeurs. Des œufs de raies géants mesurant jusqu’à 50 cm de diamètre ont été découverts posés à perte de vue sur un volcan sous-marin actif ! 🥚😱
Mais ce n’est pas un hasard… Ces raies utiliseraient la chaleur du volcan pour incuber leurs œufs, transformant cette zone extrême en une nurserie naturelle insoupçonnée. Un véritable nid de 2 000 km² où sont couvés plusieurs centaines de milliers voire plus d’un million d’oeufs. 🔥
✨ Cette découverte confirme l’ingéniosité des raies blanches du Pacifique, qui exploitent cette source de chaleur pour assurer le développement de leurs œufs malgré le froid des profondeurs.
L’océan ne cesse jamais de nous surprendre… et nous rappelle combien il a encore de secrets à dévoiler ! ➡️ Une raison de plus d’explorer ce monde sous-marin, mieux le comprendre, et rappeler l’importance de sa préservation.

Un voyage visuel pour voir concrètement l’impact que votre engagement a sur la protection de la Méditerranée ! En seulement 15 minutes, plongez dans des projets scientifiques révolutionnaires financés grâce à vous, et découvrez comment ils agissent concrètement pour l’avenir de notre poumon bleu.
Ce documentaire met en lumière 2 projets Pure Ocean, qui par le fruit du hasard se sont rencontrés pour une belle histoire de science 🌟
Au cœur de cette exploration : le projet 𝘈𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘴, qui, avec l’aide de pêcheurs locaux, a cartographié des récifs coralligènes, un écosystème rare regorgeant de biodiversité précieuse. Ces récifs ont attiré l’attention de Under The Pole, partenaires du projet 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴, qui y collecte des échantillons afin d’explorer les secrets de cet écosystème pour la médecine de demain.
C’est grâce à vous que ces incroyables découvertes sont possibles. La science a besoin de vous pour offrir des solutions pour un océan en meilleure santé.

International Whale Day: Let’s listen to them before it’s too late!
International Whale Day: Let's listen to them before it's too late!
Today, 19 February, we celebrate International Whale Day, the giants of the seas that have roamed the oceans for millions of years. But did you know that their survival is threatened by an invisible enemy? Noise pollution is disrupting their migrations and their communication, which is essential to their survival.
🔊 Sounds are vital for cetaceans: whales use songs and acoustic signals to find their bearings, find food, communicate with each other over hundreds of kilometres and even reproduce. Yet noise generated by human activities (shipping, sonar, underwater infrastructure) disrupts these exchanges and can cause stress, disorientation and even tragic strandings.
🔬 The BIOSSA project – which we are supporting at Pure Ocean – is dedicated to understanding these impacts using satellites and autonomous marine drones. Using these innovative technologies, scientists are analysing the effects of underwater noise on cetaceans between Brazil and Chile, in order to propose concrete solutions to better protect these species.
💙 Let’s take action for a quieter ocean that’s safer for whales. Share this message and help us make their voices heard!
What happens when you shine a light into the deep ocean?

Right now, the Antarctic Biolum project team is exploring the unknown and discovering new species… thanks to you!
🧊 But how do they do it? Several hundred metres below the surface, it’s cold, dark, the pressure is extreme… For certain areas such as Antarctica, there are also many difficulties such as travelling and deploying equipment through the ice amidst icebergs. These hostile conditions make these areas inaccessible and explain why so many species are still unknown.
✨ However, interacting with this marine life without disturbing it represents a major challenge, not least because of the lack of knowledge about the life habits of these organisms. Researchers on the Antarctic Biolum project are therefore turning to an innovative means of communication that is particularly essential in the depths: bioluminescence.
Since January, Dr Thomas Linley has been on board the Schmidt expedition in Antarctica, meeting these mysterious creatures…
🔬 A unique exploration that lifts the veil on a still unexplored world!


International Day of Women and Girls in Science
International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Today, on International #WomenInScienceDay, we celebrate the women researchers, engineers and innovators who, every day, push back the frontiers of knowledge to better understand and protect the ocean.
At Pure Ocean, we are proud to support women scientists working to preserve marine biodiversity, drive sustainable innovation and combat climate change. Their commitment is essential to building a more resilient future and inspiring future generations.
👏 To all those who explore, analyse and act for a healthier ocean: thank you and well done!
📢 Let’s shine the spotlight on these women who are driving science forward!

Another great collective story for the Ocean!
Another great collective story for the Ocean!
A new adventure is being woven around the ocean: Gilles Gambini, a passionate freediver and committed scientist, is joining the Under The Pole diving team! 🐠
What makes this announcement even more special is that Gilles has been a Pure Ocean ambassador for several years, and Under The Pole is a valued partner of the Genesis project as part of the Deep Life programme, which Gilles will be working on.
This meeting between enthusiasts and scientists, united for the protection of the ocean, shows the importance of the collective, the group, and the union in our common efforts.
👏 Thank you to Gilles, Under The Pole, and all those involved for being part of this human and scientific adventure to preserve our blue planet.
