A reminder of what we owe the ocean
Each year on June 8th, World Ocean Day encourages a collective awareness of the fundamental role the ocean plays in our planetary balance. This initiative was launched in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, alongside other international days like those for forests and water. More than a symbolic gesture, this day serves as a global call to action and reminds us of the urgent need to protect the marine environment.
Covering about 70% of Earth's surface, the ocean remains largely unknown: only 4 to 6% of its seabed has been accurately mapped or studied. We know more about the Moon’s surface than our own planet’s depths.
Yet, humanity heavily depends on the ocean:
The ocean faces multiple human-induced threats:
These pressures impact marine biodiversity and human health, food security, and economic stability.
We organize educational formats for companies across France and Europe, including:
We aim to connect complex environmental issues with actionable steps, making knowledge accessible and actionable.
Beyond our dependence on it, the ocean deserves protection in its own right. Preserving its ecosystems means protecting all life forms. We advocate for a shift away from a purely human-centered perspective toward a broader vision of the Living.
While June 8 raises awareness, long-term action is essential. Real change requires collective effort, consistent education, and structural transformation at all levels.
