Commitment n°6
Raising public awareness of ocean preservation
The Vendée Globe captivates millions of spectators across the globe, providing an opportunity to raise awareness of ocean conservation.
The ocean: a major playground, under threat
The future of our planet depends on the ocean, which covers 71% of its surface. It is therefore our responsibility to contribute to its preservation. The Vendée Globe has entered into scientific partnerships aimed at raising collective awareness of the crucial importance of protecting the ocean. These collaborations will enable fans of the Vendée Globe to discover the marine environment and its ecosystems as soon as they arrive in the village, but also throughout the skippers’ journey around the world.
The aim is for every Vendée Globe fan to be able to follow the race and the skippers’ exploits, while at the same time learning about the ocean, understanding its wonders, the pressures that threaten it today, and much more.
