Program

This second BioMarine Blue Bioplastic workshop aims to take concrete actions and initiate industry partnerships between raw material seagricultors, technology providers and large industry . We will analyse the entire value chain in order to anticipate bottle necks and see how we can provide practical and positive answers to the production of blue bio plastic in a time frame that is less that 12 months.

The Monaco Blue Initiative is a discussion platform that develops communication and exchange on the sustainable management and conservation of the ocean between the different actors in the management and protection of the oceans. Its members – government decision-makers, international organizations, civil society, scientists, members of the private sector – meet every year to anticipate the next issues related to ocean management, to discuss the complex interactions and possible synergies between the region. marine conservation and socio-economic development and provide policy makers with recommendations.

This 10th edition will allow to consider new solutions for the development of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), in terms of percentage but also of protection and efficiency level, beyond the Aichi 2020 targets, and to establish a new relationship that benefits both Nature and Man.

Oceans cover more than 70% of the planet’s surface and store nearly 97% of our water resources. Their biodiversity-rich environments provide ecosystem services essential to all life on Earth. During this workshop, the exchanges will focus on the preservation of the oceans and the “blue economy” in developing countries, particularly affected by overfishing. The ultimate goal is to propose new practices for sustainable and sustainable exploitation of the ocean, taking into account the economic realities of these low-income countries.

Closing meeting of a coordinated research project involving 5 countries (Brazil, Cuba, Spain, France and Thailand) on the subject of benthic microalgae and their impacts on the environment, the safety of food and health. This meeting will provide an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art in terms of the management of microalgae toxins in the environment and the monitoring of toxins in seafood, as well as to assess progress in production of the “fish” matrix used as a reference.

Right whales that use Valdes Peninsula in Argentina as a breeding area have the highest mortality rate ever recorded for this species in the world. At least 605 whales have died on Argentine shores since 2003, including 538 newborn calves. In 2012 alone, at least 113 babies died. Scientists around the world are working to find an answer and determine why so many whales are dying. Whales are ecosystem engineers – their bodies carry nutrients through the depths of the ocean. As a result, they are also indicators of environmental health. Whale watching is one of the most important economic activities for the inhabitants of Puerto Piramide. Social responsibility of the actors is the key to the sustainability of the community and species.

At a time when scientific practice is under budgetary pressure and the very value of science (as a guide to action) is seemingly being called into question by some leaders and movements, those in charge of the largest European scientific research organisations will be gathering for an extraordinary meeting on the invitation of the Oceanographic Institute and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

Strong emphasis will be placed on addressing the question of how to reinforce the links between science, society and political decision, an issue at the heart of strategic discussion on the future of marine science in Europe. To be more visible, more attractive and more accessible, scientific practice must reinvent itself and open up to new players, from the private sector as well as from the general public, especially as regards participatory sciences.

In 1910 Prince Albert I of Monaco outlined, at the opening of the Oceanographic Museum: “I have lent the power of my brain, of my conscience and of my sovereignty to expanding scientific truth, the only terrain where can come to fruition the elements of a stable civilisation, the only guaranteed safeguard against the inconstancy of human laws.” Today we must rekindle that flame…

Biomimicry refers to a process of innovation and engineering. It is inspired by the forms, materials, properties, processes and functions of living organisms. It combines the technosphere with the biosphere, drawing inspiration from nature to innovate. Biomimicry and biosourced materials are booming in France and the CEEBIOS (Centre Européen en Excellence du Biomimétisme à Senlis) founded by Gilles Bœuf was created to support innovative companies or companies in France that wish to optimize their production while protecting nature because imitating nature to innovate in a sustainable way is an idea that makes sense in an era where the transition is intended to be energy and ecological.

This conference will be dedicated to an outstanding initiative of the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and adjacent Atlantic waters: “The ACCOBAMS Survey Initiative (ASI)”. The ASI is the first marine megafauna observation campaign ever carried out on the scale of the whole Mediterranean Sea and thus offers a global overview of whale, dolphin and other megafauna populations, as well as the impact of human activities. . This new information will contribute to putting in place more effective measures for the preservation of the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea but also to encourage everyone’s awareness of the need for urgent action at all levels, including on a daily basis by adopting a responsible behavior. The conference will be followed by a discussion and a cocktail and will be accompanied by an exhibition presenting Mediterranean cetaceans as well as the first results and key moments of the census campaign.

Plastic products flood our lives and are responsible for considerable amounts of waste and greenhouse gas emissions. The take-away sale concentrates many of these disposable plastics. How to evolve towards new practices? What are the alternatives ? What do the most committed traders already offer? What are the expectations of consumers? This participatory workshop is a meeting between committed traders, restaurateurs and members of the National Pact for Energy Transition, to imagine, together, ways to do otherwise.
