In 2025, France is placing the ocean and seas at the heart of national discussions with the Year of the Sea. This national event, aimed at raising public awareness of the diverse maritime activities, invites economic, scientific, associative, and institutional stakeholders to unite in efforts to preserve this vital ecosystem. Crédit Maritime, a committed actor, fully supports this initiative.
The ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface and plays a key role in regulating the climate: oxygen production, carbon absorption, and climate change mitigation. However, this environment is often poorly understood. The Year of the Sea aims to engage all French citizens in learning more about the ocean, its challenges, and the importance of caring for this valuable heritage.
This initiative is part of the preparation for the Third United Nations Ocean Conference, which will take place in Nice in June 2025. This international event, co-organized by France and Costa Rica, will bring together all nations to discuss marine biodiversity conservation, the fight against plastic pollution, and challenges related to the energy transition.
For a Promising Maritime Future
Crédit Maritime extends its warmest wishes to its partners, collaborators, and clients for the year 2025. May this year be a source of inspiration and shared success.
As a committed actor, Crédit Maritime fully embraces this national initiative by continuing to support stakeholders in the Grand West region. By promoting innovation, sustainability, and cooperation, the prospects for a more environmentally respectful maritime future are promising, bringing new opportunities for all.
Local Commitment, Innovation, and Sustainability
With 11 million square kilometers of maritime zone, France is a major oceanic power. Throughout the year, this national initiative will highlight the challenges of energy transition, the fight against climate change, ecosystem preservation, and the development of the blue economy.
By uniting local and national efforts, this year promises to bring forth concrete solutions to protect and sustainably value the ocean, making the sea a shared resource, managed responsibly to build a sustainable maritime future.
