Nowadays, the need to safeguard the oceans more adequately from the numerous threats they have to face has become increasingly compelling: overheating and air pollution, as well as ocean acidification, overfishing, several types of irresponsible fishing practices, exploitation of mineral resources and hydrocarbons, and loss of biodiversity.

The primary goal of H.R.H. Princess Camilla of Bourbon Two Sicilies, through her Princess Camilla of Bourbon Charitable Foundation, is to raise awareness of this sensitive topic and to foster a more respectful attitude toward the ecosystem and the marine environment.

Princess Camilla hopes that these considerations will contribute “to making progress and implementing concrete measures successively” such as “avoiding plastics, improving wastewater treatment plants, regulating fisheries, and safeguarding the most vulnerable systems”- the Princess stated.
