"MEDITERRANEAN 2050" EXHIBITION AT THE OCEANOGRAPHIC MUSEUM OF MONACO  

Like the Ocean in general and perhaps even more so, the Mediterranean Sea is threatened by pollution, global warming and excessive exploitation of its resources. However, it is still possible to act. Since April 5, 2025, the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco has been devoting an exhibition to these issues: “Mediterranean 2050”. Embarked on a spatio-temporal exploration of the Mediterranean, visitors are invited to discover the centuries-old commitment of the Principality of Monaco to the Mediterranean and the solutions that will better protect it, in particular thanks to the international treaty which aims to create 30 % of Marine Protected Areas by 2030. Guided throughout their journey by large marine mammals, emblematic species of the Mediterranean, their exploration will allow them to understand why the creation of Marine Areas well-managed protected areas constitute a real promise for the preservation of the Ocean and its biodiversity. A moving and informative journey through the past, present and future of the Mediterranean.
