In the past years, we have been faced with an unprecedented health and social challenge. A challenge that has forced us to radically change our lifestyle and to reflect both on how fragile we are, and on the impact we have on the planet we inhabit - the only one we have available.
We must utilize the lessons that the pandemic has taught us and exploit this new awareness to highlight another epochal issue, one that has temporarily been set aside but is deeply interconnected with the emergency we are experiencing: ocean crisis.
The ocean has an enormous impact on our lives, anything that harms it ends up harming our health. This is why the One Ocean Foundation is renewing its appeal to companies, associations, the scientific community and citizens to join a common mission to respect and protect the ocean.
While the virus may have caught us unaware, we still have the opportunity to react to the environmental and climate emergency, and to question ourselves on how each of us – as individuals and companies - can concretely play our part. Taking care of the health of our ecosystem is essential from an environmental point of view, but also a social and economic one when we consider the importance of natural resources for the development of many companies.
Economic development and environmental sustainability represent a combination that can no longer remain abstract, and which must be translated into concrete commitments. Protecting the environment also means preventing further future pandemics like the one we are experiencing, and which none of us would ever want to live through again.

The project, carried out in collaboration with different research institutes, concerns the study and protection of a submarine canyon system in Sardinia particularly rich
in biodiversity, in particular of cetaceans. The area of interest, situated in the North East of Sardinia, is called the “Canyon of Caprera” and one of the objectives of the project is to develop solid scientific data to make it an Important Marine Mammal Area (IMMAs).
