Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Applauds Chile for Protecting Over Half of Its Ocean Waters

Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy today celebrated Chile’s creation of two new marine protected areas around remote island chains in the southeastern Pacific Ocean that scientists say harbor the highest concentration of marine species found nowhere else on Earth.

Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy is proud to support the second edition of La Tribune Bleue, a national French-language public speaking competition focused on ocean issues, organized by the Deep Blue Foundation at the Sorbonne University in Paris. La Tribune Bleue invites students to reveal their talents through the power of words, presenting ideas and building arguments about the ocean and our relationship with it, guided by expression, conviction, and clarity of thought. The grand final will be held on 25 April at the Sorbonne, where participants will present their speeches to an expert jury, providing a platform for emerging voices on ocean issues. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to ensuring youth expression has a meaningful place in the wider ocean dialogue, and to recognizing public speaking as both an art and a powerful catalyst to future engagement.

A word from
our founder

"What began as a deep love for the sea has grown into a mission to protect it, not only for its beauty, but for its vital role in sustaining life on Earth. True progress isn’t measured by what we take from Nature, but by how well we give back: to people, to the living world that sustains us, from wildlife to the plants and animals we share our lives with, and to those who will come after us."
