Watch the Sea For Pure Ocean: challenge met!

Watch the Sea For Pure Ocean: Challenge met!

This weekend, young people from the Contact Club and members of Watch The Sea completed a human and committed adventure: more than 8 km of swimming at sea between Monaco and Nice, by strength of arms and heart, guided by Watch The Sea and supported at sea by Le Chant des Voiles.

🔥 Together, these swimmers have proved that courage, solidarity and commitment can make the ocean’s voice heard and change things. Their arrival in Nice on 8 June, World Ocean Day, during UNOC 3 – the United Nations Ocean Conference, marks a powerful gesture for our blue lung. And it was all the more symbolic because it was also the birthday of one of the young participants!

🕓 In total, 6h30 of swimming spread over two days – 4h on Saturday, 2h30 on Sunday – in an admirable collective dynamic.

♻️ This observation mission enabled us to recover a lot of waste. Little pollution between Cap d’Ail and Beaulieu: an encouraging sign that some areas are becoming cleaner.

🎯 An adventure with a message: the ocean needs us.

💙 A huge thank you to :

Each participant for his or her exceptional commitment,

The Watch The Sea team for this wonderful initiative,

Le Chant des Voiles for its support at sea and its welcome on board in Villefranche harbour,

The Contact Club for its grassroots work with young people and its spirit of adventure,

And the Mairie de Beaulieu-sur-Mer for its warm welcome on Place Marinoni.

All those who supported this project, at sea or on land.

🌍 This challenge is much more than a sporting effort: it’s a collective cry of hope to protect the ocean. And it’s only the beginning.

This Saturday, June 7, young people are taking to the water for the ocean!

This Saturday, June 7, young people are taking to the water for the ocean!

To mark World Ocean Day, a unique challenge will be taking place between Monaco and Nice: a crossing of more than 15 km on an aquatic trek, carried by young people from the Contact Club, accompanied by the Watch The Sea team and Chant des Voiles.

💪 A real physical and collective feat, to make the voice of young people committed to helping the planet heard.

🌍 Their arrival in Nice is no coincidence: it’s the venue for UNOC 3 – the 3rd United Nations Conference on the Oceans, a major global event where the future of our blue lung will be decided in the coming days.

🎯 Objective: raise funds for scientific research!
