Brave New Ocean: a high-level virtual event organized by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO to mark the beginning of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science.
A recent scientific publication, published in November 2020 in the international journal Environmental DNA, compares two techniques used to assess marine biodiversity: the classic underwater visual census and the study of environmental DNA, an emerging technique in this field.
REV Ocean, The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Oceanographic Institute – Foundation Albert I, Prince of Monaco and Monaco Explorations join forces to foster a healthy Ocean.
From 7 October to 31 December 2020, the photographic exhibition “Protecting UNESCO’s World Marine Heritage through Scientific Research”, consisting of 21 photographs from the Explorations of Monaco missions, is on display at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, as well as in digital version.
As part of the preparation of the Indian Ocean mission scheduled for spring 2021, Monaco Explorations supports and joins forces with IRD by financing part of the DiDEM project (Dialogue between science and Decision makers for an integrated management of Marine and coastal Environments) in the western Indian Ocean.
