Soirée Plankton: Bringing the invisible majority to the Ocean Conference

June 11, 2025 – 7 pm
Villefranche-sur-Mer Marine Station
Nice, France

 

At the base of every marine ecosystem, with a key role in carbon storage and for the habitability of our planet, accounting for the vast majority of marine biomass, plankton is nonetheless the great absentee from major ocean summits. With over 20 years of work alongside laboratories exploring the role of plankton in the Ocean, the Tara Ocean Foundation, with French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Sorbonne University, United Nations Global Compact and Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM), is proposing to bring plankton to UNOC, making visible this mesmerizing part of the Ocean, and exploring why it needs to contribute to efforts to conserve, monitor and manage the Ocean.

Join us for a unique night at the Villefranche-sur-Mer Marine Station, a historic site for the observation and understanding of these organisms. Overlooking the Ocean, this evening will be an opportunity to immerse yourself in this invisible world and explore its contribution to a Living Ocean.

The event will take place on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 7 pm (UTC +2, local time) at the Villefranche-sur-Mer Marine Station in Nice, France.
