The equivalent of a 10 m × 5 m swimming pool completely filled with waste 🤯. That’s HUGE! Imagine if all of that had ended up in the ocean…
💙 Thank you to all the companies that took part in the La Goutte Bleue Challenge during European Sustainable Development Week!
This year, over 2,600 employees mobilized to take concrete action for the ocean, collecting 80,000 liters of waste before it reached the sea. An exceptional effort that shows we must act collectively against this real threat. 🙌
💧 As you know, every second, 250 kg of plastic flows into the ocean. A cleanup may seem small compared to the scale of the problem—and reducing single-use plastic remains a priority. But these actions are essential: they raise awareness, engage your teams, and turn them into agents of change. 👏 A huge thank you to:
Arcanes, Carmila, Capsum, Cacatoès, CMSO Crédit Mutuel Sud-Ouest, CBRE, IBM Paris, IBM Marseille, IBM Belfort, IBM Toulouse, PROMAN and its 249 agencies, Société Générale, Naama.
💡 Thanks to your commitment, we turn an environmental emergency into collective, concrete action.
➡️ Let’s keep up the momentum! You can organize a La Goutte Bleue cleanup all year round. Interested? Get in touch!

Mission coral: saving one of the planet's most precious marine treasures.
In Raja Ampat, Indonesia, coral reefs are still biodiversity gems… but they are under threat.
Mickael Racine, a PhD student in marine ecology at Planète Mer / University of Montpellier, closely monitors the restoration of these reefs alongside local communities.
With the Yaf Keru Impacts project, he analyzes coral health, fish diversity, and the impact on local populations, demonstrating that protecting reefs also ensures food security for the inhabitants.
👉 A dive into a unique ecosystem, where science and communities work hand in hand.

Pure Ocean is proud to welcome a new duo of committed ambassadors!
Audrey Ogereau & Erwan Le Roux, skippers on Ocean Fifty, combine experience and passion to defend our ocean.
Audrey, a mechanical engineer and Olympic sailor, grew up on the water and has an unending thirst for challenges. As European Hobie Cat 16 vice-champion and Women’s America’s Cup competitor, she brings energy, technical expertise, and boldness to this exceptional duo.
Erwan, two-time winner of the Route du Rhum and multiple winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre, is an iconic figure in ocean racing. With an outstanding track record, he embodies performance, mentorship, and commitment.
Together, they are more than just a team: they represent a powerful human adventure, driven by a common goal – to push their limits while raising awareness about the urgent need to protect the ocean.

Wind, sunshine, smiles, sharing… and above all, a wave of energy for the ocean.
All day long, 14 boats sailed around the Frioul Archipelago with a single goal: to celebrate ocean conservation and delight our participants, because we know,
“We love what has amazed us, and we protect what we love.” J.-Y. Cousteau
Thanks to you, over €8,000 was raised to support marine scientific research.
200 times THANK YOU
to all the participants,
to our loyal sponsors who joined us with their families,
to the skippers who welcomed passengers all day, sharing their passion and love for the sea,
to Ambre Papazian for leading the yoga session,
to the Running Club des Catalans for plogging, collecting 19 kg of waste while running along the promenade,
and to everyone who made this day possible: our ambassador Ludovic Gérard, the UNM club, the UNM restaurant, Monsieur Bob, Yohan Brandt for the photos, and Jérôme Brousse for the videos.
What a joy to receive your energy, smiles, and unwavering support.
You are living proof that the ocean brings people together.

What if seaweed could regenerate the ocean… and our economies?
Big news: Pure Ocean is unveiling its second documentary, Flor do Mar.
Following Hidden Secret (2024), this new Pure Ocean Documentary highlights a concrete response to the ocean’s urgent challenges.
Flor do Mar tells the story of Meire, a researcher at the Bonfarto Kaj Konservado Institute (BKK), and Angela, a Brazilian seaweed farmer, who lead a visionary project: Regen Ocean Farms.
Winner of the 2024 Pure Ocean call for projects, Regen Ocean Farms demonstrates the potential of seaweed cultivation. A simple yet powerful solution that allows to:
Restore marine ecosystems
Create a resilient local economy
Provide a sustainable alternative to overfishing and pollution
Behind this project lies an inspiring model of economic transition, scientific innovation, and female leadership.
Seaweed becomes a lever to develop future solutions – bioplastics, methane-reducing feed additives, agricultural biostimulants – opening the way to a new blue economy.
Directed by Zekefilm, the incredible duo Roxane Perrot & Ugo Isoard, who know how to put emotion front and center. A huge thank you to them.
Flor do Mar is more than a documentary: it’s a message of hope and proof that taking action for the ocean is possible.
Premiere: December 3, 2025 – Nuit de l’Océan, at Banque Populaire Méditerranée, Avenue du Prado.
