Home to over 17,000 marine species, this part of the sea is in a fragile condition that takes precedence when highlighting the immense need to preserve the condition of the Mediterranean.
This new exhibition, held at the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco explores solutions to the impact that the climate has on the form of this precious aqua landscape.
In a speech at COP27 in Egypt 2022 HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco said: “In the past, the Mediterranean was a symbol of the progress of civilisation. Today it is a symbol of the planet’s dysfunctions and tensions. Tomorrow it must be the symbol of new solutions.”
As the grandest inland sea in the world, the Mediterranean is being altered by climate change and pollution. A small proportion, 8.33 percent, of the waters are currently protected.
This exhibition holds installations that educates the spectator about a world that can be captured in 2050, if those powers maintain the unique treasures of this special part of the globe.
The ideology behind this show is to show how the Principality can ensure these measures are taken seriously.
This is the home of many species including loggerhead turtles, Neptune seagrass meadows, fin whales, swordfish, tuna, dusky groupers, sharks and sperm whales.
The protection of the Mediterranean is down to the legacy of this tranquil stretch of coastline. To book tickets visit: The exhibitions – Musée Océanographique de Monaco
