MINI-MOOC WITH PURE OCEAN
A platform to learn more about the ocean, have fun and learn more about this great blue to better protect it.
The Ocean is essential to our survival, the real lung of the planet, it produces 50% of the oxygen we breathe! Its role is primordial and our health depends on it. The environmental emergency we are facing alerts us to the need to preserve our planet and in particular the ocean which represents 70% of the Earth. At the same time shaping the planet, making life possible, regulating the climate, and having many other functions, it is still little studied with 90% of marine species still unknown.
On UNESCO’s 7 major themes we offers you resources to better understand the planet through 7 major themes. We take up these themes here to share information with you, recommend films, documentaries and articles to educate your children and learn more about this mysterious ocean.
