Who’s
counting
on us

Our oceans are home to roughly 228,450 known species of marine life. However, scientists estimate that 91% of the ocean’s biodiversity has yet to be classified. The declining health of marine ecosystems could mean that many species will go extinct before we ever get the chance to discover them.

How we make a difference

The Fondation Vilebrequin collaborates with a network of individuals and organizations within the scientific community who share our desire to accelerate the movement toward a more sustainable future. We offer rewards and financial assistance to local and global actors working to monitor and protect marine life. We also commit to a policy of total transparency with respect to our donations and the organizations we choose to support. In so doing, the Fondation Vilebrequin hopes to inspire and facilitate the kind of behavioral changes that will empower all of us to live more responsible and sustainable lives.
