Uniting for Our Oceans: High-Level Events in Monaco and Nice Spark Global Dialogue.

On June 7 and 8, 2025, a series of high-level events took place in Monaco and Nice, bringing together experts, institutions, and international organizations to address the future of our oceans.

At the Blue Economy & Finance Forum in Monaco, discussions focused on transitioning toward a regenerative marine economy. Key topics included coral restoration, sustainable seaweed farming, and innovative models of ocean finance.

In Nice, the Coalition Ocean Rise convened influential voices at an official dinner hosted by Mayor Christian Estrosi, highlighting the urgency for coordinated and united action to protect marine ecosystems.

Finally, at the Chagall Museum, a WWF event provided a reflective space on accelerating progress toward 30×30 goals — protecting 30% of marine and terrestrial areas by 2030 — and emphasized the shared responsibility in achieving them.

Protecting our oceans is not only a scientific or political challenge; it is a HUMAN ONE. This week served as a strong reminder that collaboration and commitment are truly essential.
