✨ A wave of emotions for our Ocean Gala!
Last Tuesday, June 3, just days before the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference, 250 leaders came together to celebrate… our Ocean.
An unforgettable evening: laughter, generosity, a unique atmosphere, and a historic venue on the Mediterranean. What an incredible experience!
THANK YOU to the 250 Pure Ocean Lovers who showed up with passion and conviction. Thanks to you, the auction and raffle were a tremendous success: €63,000 raised to support ocean research!
Each euro will support scientific projects aimed at better understanding and protecting our blue planet. Your commitment makes a real difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Highlights from the 2024 edition
The Pure Ocean Gala took place on June 4, 2024, on the rooftop terrace of the Mucem in Marseille, exclusively privatized for this exceptional occasion.
This event brought together 250 guests committed to ocean preservation. In a unique setting with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean, attendees enjoyed a refined dinner crafted by Chef Gérald Passedat, along with lively hosting by Nathalie Simon.
During the auction, €76,509 was raised to fund ocean research projects. These funds will support initiatives aimed at improving our understanding and protection of marine ecosystems, continuing the work carried out by Pure Ocean since 2019.
This event was made possible thanks to the invaluable support of partners, donors, and the organizing team, who helped make this evening a truly memorable success.
Pure Ocean warmly thanks all stakeholders who contributed to this event, which is essential for the preservation of the ocean.
Highlights from the 2023 edition
On June 8, 2023, Pure Ocean held the third edition of its Ocean Gala, an evening dedicated to mobilizing support for ocean preservation.
During the event, a gala dinner and an auction were held, raising funds to support innovative and ambitious scientific research projects. Once again, many contributors came together to offer exceptional items, including unique objects and experiences, which were met with great enthusiasm by participants.
This event took place in a concerning context, as the state of the ocean is becoming increasingly critical. The pressures exerted on our climate regulator, our blue lung, and our carbon sink continue to intensify. This gala was therefore a valuable opportunity to honor the ocean while making a concrete contribution to its protection.
Pure Ocean warmly thanks all partners, donors, and participants who helped make this evening a powerful moment of solidarity and commitment.

Judging by the smiles on everyone’s faces, it’s clear that guests had a wonderful time and were delighted to contribute to the protection of the ocean.
Pure Ocean Fund warmly thanks everyone involved in making this second edition of the Pure Ocean Gala a success, and invites you to discover the photos from the evening!
