Sylvia Earle,

“With Biotherm’s support, we and our partners all over theworld are creating momentum that is critically needed to drawattention to the fact that the ocean is in trouble. But we don’t have to just sit back and watch the decline; we are able turn things around.”

A Shared Desire To Protect : Biotherm And Mission Blue

In 2012, Biotherm began a long-term collaboration with Mission Blue, an organization founded by legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle that works to identify and preserve ""Hope Spots"" or marine areas critical to the survival of the ocean. Mission Blue brings together over 200 respected ocean conservation groups and like-minded organizations, from the private sector to individual scientific teams doing critical research, who are united in their love for water and desire to protect the ocean. Identifying and protecting Hope Spots is critical to allow the complex natural systems that exist underwater to function and rebuild themselves. Each Hope Spot is vetted scientifically by a group of ocean scientists led by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). By promoting marine protection in Hope Spots, Mission Blue and its partners are creating a roadmap for ocean recovery. Since the 2012 creation of its Water Lovers program, Biotherm has sponsored ten missions at eight Hope Spots with Mission Blue.

Partnering to Research Our Blue Lung : Biotherm and Tara Ocean Fondation

2017, Biotherm partnered with the Tara Ocean Foundation, a trailblazing research organization dedicated to the study of the impact of climate change on the oceans, and whose research helps the brand understand how to minimize its products’ impact on water. Biotherm proudly supports the Tara Ocean Foundation’s Mission Microbiomes, its 12th scientific mission focused on the study of the most fundamental fabric of the Ocean, its microbiome. Like the body’s microbiome is fundamental for skin health, the ocean’s microbiome is fundamental for the health of the earth. The research mission aims to understand the future of this vital ecosystem.

Advocating For Our Ocean: Biotherm And The Oceanographic Institute, Prince Albert I Of Monaco Foundation

In 2021, Biotherm unveiled that it is the Major Executive Partner of the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, based on their shared goal to inspire love and protection for the oceans. The brand’s support will contribute to supporting the Oceano’s actions for the oceans, mobilizing its global network of experts and decisionmakers and raising public awareness on the fragile situation of the ocean today. Originally headquartered in Monaco, the launch of this long-term partnership is a homecoming for Biotherm.
