Since its origin, in January 2011, the philanthropic association of general interest OceanoScientific primarily targets young people in CE2-CM1-CM2 classes with the aim of making them RESPECT and LOVE the Ocean. To this end, Carla Di Santo, Scientific Coordinator & Diving Manager of theOceanoScientific Expeditions, assisted The Sea Workshop on Wednesday April 13 to take a group of twenty-four girls and boys aged six to twelve on a snorkeling trip to raise their awareness of the marine environment and to discover the animals of the Mediterranean shallows in their natural habitat. These children are from one of the programs offered by Synergy Family, co-founded by Laurent Choukroun and Frank Tortel, which has offered for more than ten years the opportunity for all kinds of activities aimed at individual and collective development. This trip to sea, financed by"Marseille Capital of the Sea", registered in operation "A step towards the sea", resulting from the collaboration of four partners: Marseille Capitale de la Mer, Synergie Family, Le Cercle des Nageurs and the CMA CGM Foundation. Thus, children learn to swim and live edutainment experiences to understand, love and respect the sea. Let us remember on this occasion that "Marseille Capital of the Sea" brings together the living forces of the Marseille city, whether economic, cultural, industrial, craft, sporting, gastronomic, environmental, academic, social, or institutional, to enhance the sea as an urban resource. The association team OceanoScientific is therefore happy to support this initiative to raise awareness of the major role of the sea in our urban lives.
The FAçade Méditerranéenne EXemplaire - FAMEX 2030 program is a winner of the fourth Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir (PIA4).
Supported by the University of Toulon and piloted by the Campus des Métiers et Qualifications d'excellence (CMQe) - Économie de la Mer - Région Sud, the aim of this project is to accelerate the adaptation of skills and the anticipation of new professions generated by the greening of the marine economy.
FAMEX 2030 is in line with two of the ten objectives of the FRANCE 2030 plan and translates into:
- AXIS 1: Fisheries & Aquaculture for a sustainable food supply
- AXIS 2: Decarbonized Marine Mobility & Clean Ports
The aim is to support the energy transition and adaptation to climate change.
The Tour MER & MÉTIERS - Revealing the vocations of Tomorrow, set up as part of the FAMEX 2030 program, aims to promote the skills of the future and the new professions of the Blue Economy.
Chaired by Yvan Griboval, who was involved in the FAMEX 2030's conception and application, OceanoScientific is one of the 26 Members of the FAMEX 2030 Consortium. It is the operator of the catamaran LOVE THE OCEAN, the FAMEX 2030 sailing totem base.
