Experiencing a transformation in our relationship with the living world: towards a new alliance with wild marine nature.

What if marine protected areas and marine parks held the key to a harmonious coexistence between humans and the ocean?

Far more than mere conservation zones, these areas are living laboratories where, day by day, a new balance is being forged between biodiversity preservation and human activity.

Through the combined insights of Catherine Boemare, Deputy Director of the International Centre for Research on Environment and Development (CIRED), and Pauline Bricault, Markets Campaign Manager at BLOOM, discover the latest theoretical and practical advances paving the way for a genuine transformation in our relationship with the marine world.

Innovative concepts, real-world case studies and action-oriented perspectives will be at the heart of this journey to rethink our place in nature.

At the end of the discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to put your questions to our guests. The event will be followed by an informal gathering.
