Objectives

Understanding the marine environment, sharing a human adventure. A unique expedition to protect the oceans.

The oceans cover 70% of the surface of our planet and constitute one of our most diverse and important ecosystems. They act as a regulator for the planet’s climate and provide resources to a high proportion of the global population.

Despite its importance, the marine environment has experienced significant deterioration as a result of human activity and over-exploitation of its resources.

Scientific data on this extremely vast and varied environment is limited. Furthermore, the issue has been largely ignored on the global political agenda and the general public is not aware of the consequences that deterioration of the marine environment will have on our lives.

There is an urgent need to better understand and preserve this unique ecosystem.


The mission of the Antinea Foundation is to:

 

  • contribute to a better scientific understanding of the marine environment


  • raise public awareness on the importance of protecting it


  • enable individuals to experience life at sea by participating in its projects
