🌊 We are all so much looking forward to presenting the results of WE ARE OCEAN_Nice Raconte-moi la Mer, our Ocean Literacy project with artist Morgane Ganault from L’atelier Rural de la Roya, geologist Christian Gorini, our curator colleagues from MAMAC Lélia Décourt, Fabien Dumont, the teachers of the College Jules Romains Nice and of course all the young participants of the project: They co-created together with the artist a wonderful comic book which speaks about the ecology of the space in between the river Var and the Mediterranean Sea.

🌊What is UNOC3:
The Third UN Ocean Conference (UNOC32025) will take place from the 9th to the 13th of June 2025 in Nice, France. It is the third United Nations Ocean Conference and will be co-hosted by France and Costa Rica. The international conference aims to accelerate and mobilise action to conserve and sustainably use the ocean, seas and marine resources, and will bring together ocean experts from political, scientific, civil society and business communities, as well as representatives of international institutions and indigenous peoples, in support of the conference objective: the adoption of a “Nice Ocean Action Plan”. UNOC 2025 therefore contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 “Life Below Water” (SDG14)
