The Principality's commitment to preserving marine ecosystems is enshrined in its history, from the creation of the Oceanographic Institute in 1911 by Prince Albert I of Monaco to the founding of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation in 2006.  This desire to better understand the threats that the environment of our planet is facing, and in particular our oceans, is once again central to the Monegasque agenda, with the 2nd Monaco Ocean Week, which now includes:

The Monaco Blue Initiative (MBI), to be held on 8 and 9 April in Edinburgh, Scotland, on three main themes:
the synergies between aquaculture and marine protected areas;
the relationship between marine protected areas and climate change;
new prospects for the Blue Economy in the northern seas.

Monaco Ocean Week, from 9 to 14 April in Monaco
This event, organised in partnership with Rolex, is an opportunity for local stakeholders and international organisations based in Monaco to share their experience, deepen discussions and take action on conserving the marine environment and the sustainable development of a "blue" economy.
