It’s official: the ocean has passed its critical acidification threshold.
As you know, the ocean absorbs nearly 30% of our CO₂ emissions. But in return, its acidity has increased by almost 40% since the industrial era.
The result: the 7th of the nine planetary boundaries has now been crossed.
Planetary boundaries are critical thresholds humanity must not exceed to ensure a stable and habitable environment.
🚨 A major warning signal for humanity. But why does it matter?
Because what happens in the ocean directly affects you:
➡️ Fewer corals and plankton means a collapse of marine biodiversity… and the food chain. ➡️ A weakened ocean absorbs less CO₂, accelerating the climate crisis. ➡️ A fragile ocean threatens economic sectors and increases instability for everyone.
👉 The good news? It’s not irreversible. The ozone layer is proof: when humanity decides to act, it can restore vital balances.
🔹 At Pure Ocean, we support scientific research that invents tomorrow’s solutions to protect the ocean. But for these solutions to become reality, we need you.
➡️ Leaders and entrepreneurs: commit your company alongside us.
By supporting scientific innovation, you not only protect the ocean but also the future of our societies and your businesses.
🌍 Facing this boundary being crossed, there are two options: endure it… or act.

Pure Ocean, the official cause of the 2025 Régates Royales de Cannes
Each year, the Régates Royales de Cannes gather the most beautiful sailing yachts in the world, with a fleet of around fifty Dragons and an armada of over eighty classic yachts, some proudly over a hundred years old!
This year, behind the beauty of the sails, a message resonates: protect the ocean, our shared treasure.
We are proud that Pure Ocean is the cause supported by the Régates Royales. Thomas will be there, come meet him and talk about the ocean.
A strong commitment that unites tradition and innovation, maritime heritage and scientific research.
Together, let’s turn our passion for the sea into concrete action to safeguard the ocean.
Entrepreneurs, decision-makers, change-makers: join us. Every gesture, every commitment matters.

An unprecedented treaty for the high seas – why is it great news for the ocean (and for all of us)?
With the 61st ratification – 61 countries having officially agreed to and approved the treaty – the High Seas Treaty (BBNJ – Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction) will officially come into force at the beginning of 2026.
A milestone more than 20 years in the making through international negotiations.
➡️ In practice, this treaty opens the way to:
✔️ The creation of marine protected areas in the high seas ✔️ Fair sharing of marine genetic resources ✔️ Strengthened scientific cooperation between states ✔️ Real protection for biodiversity
🌊 Why is this historic?
Because the high seas cover nearly half the planet, play a key role in climate, biodiversity, and our economies… yet until now were almost entirely unregulated, even though they are a common good essential for everyone. ❌ Incredible, right?
#BBNJ marks the beginning of a new era for the high seas.
🌍 States are taking action – and what about us? Companies, you also have a role to play! Shall we start together?

This Sunday, September 7th, two of our Pure Ocean ambassadors will proudly carry our colors in this legendary race: Thomas de Dinechin and Calixte Benoit 🤩
Since 1970, La Solitaire du Figaro has been one of the most iconic offshore racing events: demanding, a true talent‑revealer, and sailed on one‑design Figaro BENETEAU 3 boats.
➡️ Since 2024, it has expanded with a brand‑new format: the Défi Paprec, a first double‑handed stage designed to open the race to a new generation of sailors.
🌊 Our two ambassadors will embody these two formats:
⚓ Thomas de Dinechin, aboard Almond for Pure Ocean, will take the start of the full Solitaire, driven by the determination of a passionate skipper who uses his voice to champion the ocean.
⚓ Calixte Benoit, 24 years old and already boasting an impressive track record, will set off alongside Joseph Cloarec on Médi Terra Bella for Pure Ocean to take on the Défi Paprec.
👉 As we wish them fair winds for this sporting and human adventure, we reaffirm our mission: supporting research and innovation to protect the ocean.
