Albert I Grandes Médailles award ceremony

At a time when the health of the ocean is under threat – from pollution, overfishing and all kinds of excesses – initiatives to improve knowledge and management of our blue planet are multiplying.

Each year, the Oceanographic Institute, Albert I, Prince of Monaco Foundation honours the great names of the marine world who, through their commitment and their work, contribute to making the Ocean known, loved and protected.

As the 2020 ceremony has been cancelled due to health restrictions caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, the 2020 and 2021 winners will receive their Albert I Grande Médaille together on Monday November 22 at the Maison de l’Océan in Paris.
