This film presents the context and the broad issues of the 13 Océan project, a demonstrator of aquaculture and urban agriculture production for climatic transition. It is a project for an urban 'permaquaculture' farm, which will meet three objectives: - to ally permaculture and aquaculture; - to function according to the principles of the circular economy; - to be based on biomimetic practices.

On the occasion of his visit to the island of Les Embiez, Peter Thomson, United Nations (UN) Special Envoy for the Oceans, responded to Patricia Ricard’s questions: he spoke of solutions on nature, of corporate sponsorship, and innovation, his vision for the preservation of the ocean environment. With a clear message: "We have only one ocean, and we will have to find common solutions".

MedPAN aims to promote the establishment, the operation and the sustainability of a Mediterranean network of MPAs, and produced this video.

For the past 50 years, the Institute is carrying out its research in the Mediterranean, considered by scientists as a true model ocean.
