RAISING AWARENESS

AMONGST YOUNG AND OLD

Five classes from Monaco (École François d’As-
sise Nicolas Barré, École de la Condamine and
International School of Monaco) as well as a
group of children from the Centre du Découverte
du Monde Marin took part in six educational
workshops.

Activities allowed them to learn about species
which they usually eat, the consequences of over-
fishing and the active role they can play on a daily
basis to protect the Ocean.

Amongst the workshops on offer, Mr.Goodfish
performed a role play in which children played
each actor of the sector, from fisher to consumer,
learning about sustainable fishing and consump-
tion. It was an opportunity to understand how fish
arrives on their plate and how to make the right
choices!

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a fishing
certification body, went even further by providing
- sometimes surprising - details about species
biology.

At the end of the morning, children showed eve-
ryone their message for the Ocean, encouraging
visitors to commit to protecting it.

Activities and information stands provided by the
exhibition partners Mr.Goodfish, the World Wild
Fund for Nature (WWF), the Marine Stewardship
Council (MSC) and the Regional Committee for
Maritime Fishing and Marine Farming (CRPMEM)
of Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur, also helped raise
awareness amongst visitors.
