Thanks to the Qualiopi certification, our trainings are eligible for funding through French OPCOs (Skills Operators). This opportunity is available to companies affiliated with an OPCO and up to date with their social and tax obligations. It is particularly suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with fewer than 250 employees, enabling them to include ocean preservation training in their workforce development plan
The Ocean Preservation Training offers a deep understanding of the Ocean’s fundamental role in the Earth system. Through the study of marine ecosystem services, participants discover how the Ocean regulates the climate, contributes to the carbon cycle, and sustains marine biodiversity. By analyzing human pressures—such as fishing practices, coastal urbanization, and industrial activities—they uncover how business operations interact with marine environments.
Using interactive educational formats like collaborative fresks and the Solutions Game, the training provides concrete analysis of marine pollution, plastic waste, and coastal erosion. Participants gain awareness of the environmental impacts specific to their sector and identify mitigation or climate adaptation strategies. This process supports the development of ocean-friendly solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into the company’s CSR strategy.
At the end of the training, each group designs a dual-focus environmental action plan: reducing carbon footprint and protecting marine ecosystems. These individual and collective plans feed into the organization’s CSR policy by incorporating tangible actions linked to climate and coastal challenges. This deliverable forms a solid foundation for embedding sustainable development goals and increasing positive impact on coastal ecosystems.
