Proud ambassadors 💙 Meet Ludovic Gérard, an ocean and sailing enthusiast!
As a loyal Pure Ocean patron and ambassador, Ludovic’s unfailing commitment has made us shine from the start! In fact, it’s thanks to him that the 24H Pure Ocean exists!
During his many regattas, Ludovic became aware of the need to protect our wonderful blue lung. So he decided to work alongside us to raise awareness of environmental issues.
His next challenge? The Cap Martinique on April 14, 2024. Follow his journey and join us in this adventure for a cleaner, preserved ocean.
Pure Ocean is delighted to announce the addition of an 8th revolutionary project to our call for projects!🎉
🌿🌎 An incredibly innovative technology: creating palm oil responsibly… with palms! 🤿 Who’d have thought our diving friends could help save the Amazon rainforest? 😲🌊
A promising project! In addition to recycling the plastic from this diving accessory, researchers will save our green lung 💚
👏 Congratulations on this incredible discovery!
Keep following Pure Ocean for more exciting projects and initiatives that make a difference to our planet. 🌍💙

Ocean levels rising faster and faster, NASA reveals
NASA’s latest observations highlight an alarming acceleration in the rise in ocean levels. Between 2022 and 2023, the average ocean level rose by 0.76 cm, four times faster than the 0.21 cm rise between 2021 and 2022. This spectacular leap raises serious concerns about the consequences for our coasts and communities.
This dramatic rise is attributable not only to global warming, but also to the El Niño phenomenon.
The figures are alarming: since 1993, global ocean levels have risen by 9.4 centimetres, with a remarkable acceleration in recent years. If this trend continues, we could see a further rise of 20 centimetres by 2050, threatening our coasts and exacerbating the risks of flooding and submersion.
What’s more, recent research has revealed that sea level rise abruptly exceeded the threshold of natural variability as early as 1863, coinciding with the start of the Industrial Revolution. This acceleration, unprecedented for millennia, is directly linked to human activity and ocean warming.
Faced with this imminent crisis, it is imperative to act now: let’s limit our greenhouse gas emissions.
By supporting Pure Ocean, you are contributing to research and the protection of our precious marine ecosystems. Together, we can reverse this trend and preserve our planet for future generations.

On 4 June, enjoy an unforgettable evening at the Gala de l’Océan! This exceptional event will take place at the Mole Passedat in the Mucem, where we will be gathering with our sponsors, partners, ambassadors and all Pure Ocean Lovers.
Together, we’ll share a moment of solidarity and commitment to ocean research.
Join us for an evening full of promise, discovery and hope. Let’s make this evening a real tribute to our ocean, and another step towards a more sustainable future for our planet.

Climate change: scientists predict species at risk of mass extinction!
It’s nothing new: climate change is threatening marine biodiversity, but scientists at Oxford University have taken a closer look at the species that are thought to be most at risk.
The researchers analysed more than 290,000 fossil archives of marine invertebrates over a period of 485 million years to understand the resilience factors of species in the face of this challenge.
Temperature-related factors are obviously crucial. The greater the impact of climate change, the more vulnerable species are, particularly those living in extreme conditions or with a narrow temperature range, especially below 15°C.
The factor that seems to have the greatest impact is size. In particular, the size of the geographical range and the size of the species. In both cases, the greater the size, the less likely the species is to disappear.
⚠️ However, let’s not forget the importance of an ecosystem: each species is necessary for the survival of the others. “This should serve as a stern warning to humanity as we recklessly continue to cause climate change ourselves by burning fossil fuels”. Recalls Dan Lunt, researcher at the University of Bristol.

On Tuesday 26 March at 7.30pm at the Naama.work Ephémère in the Tour Montparnasse, we invite you to an inspiring afterwork to get involved for the ocean!
🌍 What’s on the agenda? Networking and sharing will be on the agenda on the theme of “being committed and transforming today”,
with :
Lauranne Schied, Pure Ocean Paris referent, will present our local actions,
Thomas de Williencourt, our Director, will tell you all about our new 2024 projects.
All this over a cocktail reception.

Seagrass beds are one of the largest marine ecosystems on the planet, occupying around 300,000 km2 of the seabed and spread across 159 countries. Yet the equivalent of a soccer field disappears every 30 minutes, and an estimated 7% of the world’s seagrass beds are lost every year. Ocean acidification, coastal development and rising ocean temperatures caused by climate change are the main causes of seagrass disappearance.
Discover the 5 inconspicuous ways in which seagrass beds stimulate biodiversity!

Alors que les champions approchent de la fin du périple, replongeons dans notre soirée au départ de l’Arkea Ultim Challenge où nous avons eu le privilège d’accueillir Lucie Cocquempot, porteuse du projet Citizen into Science !
Lucie nous a éclairé sur la manière dont nous observons l’océan, discutant de l’importance de la recherche océanique, des méthodes utilisées et de comment chacun peut contribuer à cette cause.
🔬⛵ C’est pour répondre à ces enjeux que Lucie a initié le projet Citizen into Science, soutenu par Pure Ocean depuis 2023, grâce à vos dons. Un projet novateur qui vise à mobiliser les plaisanciers dans la collecte de données océanographiques via un boîtier satellite, faisant ainsi de chacun un “observ’acteur” de l’océan. Le boîtier permettra de mesurer la température, la salinité, l’oxygénation – des paramètres essentiels pour comprendre la circulation et l’état de santé de l’océan.
🌎 À grande échelle, cette initiative promet de transformer notre façon d’interagir avec l’océan et de protéger notre précieux écosystème marin.
🚢 L’expédition OceanoScientific, qui part pour la Guadeloupe ce samedi 24 février à bord du LOVE THE OCEAN, nous fait l’honneur d’inaugurer le premier boitier Oceano Vox du réseau ! Bon vent à Yvan Griboval et son équipage, nous avons hâte de recevoir vos premiers résultats !
