Information

"Previous editions of the Monaco Ocean Week have greatly participated to rise awareness on the potential and benefits of the seaweed sector. But time is pressing, and we need to move from advocacy and awareness to commitments and action, and the 3rd UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) taking place in Nice, June 2025, is the perfect opportunity to stimulate such action.

Paving the way to this major milestone, the “Seaweed road to UNOC” workshop will kick-start a high level working group who will identify and unlock seaweed opportunities to leverage the UNOC event in 2025, with a maximum number of stakeholders committing to take concrete actions in favor of the seaweed sector (e.g., off-take commitments from corporates, funding and policy reforms from states, investments from asset managers, support from general public…)."
