Since the launch of the Water Lover sustainability program in 2012, Biotherm has remained steadfast in its pledge to protect aquatic biodiversity. This commitment is at the heart of our mission, guiding our partnerships as well as actions to foster a healthier future for aquatic biodiversity. 

Throughout the years, Biotherm has forged and sustained partnerships with recognized non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Mission Blue & the Tara Ocean Foundation. These alliances are crucial in advocating for the preservation of aquatic biodiversity. 

In 2022, Biotherm embarked on an awe-inspiring venture with renowned French skipper Paul Meilhat to deepen our connection with the Ocean. Together, we launched the Biotherm IMOCA, a ship that serves as the embodiment of our commitment. This collaboration took flight with our participation in the prestigious Route du Rhum in September 2022, a milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve environmental sustainability.

Biotherm and Paul Meilhat's collaboration with the Tara Ocean Foundation during The Ocean Race 2023 was a new step in Ocean conservation. Beyond the race, their IMOCA vessel, transformed into a mobile laboratory, which was fully equipped with a state-of-the-art Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) in January 2023. This instrument, which uses laser-induced fluorescence and light-scattering technology, detects and visualizes phytoplankton, capturing up to 30,000 high-resolution images per hour. The data we collect is shared with the Tara Ocean Foundation and its research partners to support the ongoing effort to understand our Oceans.
