Ocean Census, the largest and most ambitious global program in history to accelerate the discovery and census of life in the oceans, was launched in London on April 27, 2023. Following on from the support that the Principality of Monaco gave to the “Census of Marine Life 2010” project, the Société des Explorations de Monaco is committing itself on behalf of its stakeholders as a founding partner of the Ocean Census project.
The audience at the Royal Institution learned that the goal of this project is to discover 100,000 new marine species over the next decade, before global warming and overfishing lead to the permanent disappearance of entire marine populations.
