A CARD GAME ABOUT
PROTECTING CETACEANS

At this session, the leader shuffled some cards
and distributed them to the eight participants.
The pupils discovered five species of
cetaceans, four types of ship and a collection
of special cards: speed, noise pollution, plastic,
collision, High Quality Whale-Watching ,
®
marine protected areas, scientific research
and fishing. Whale Risk is a card game aimed
at raising awareness about environmental
conservation and marine mammal protection
with a focus on shipping traffic.

A STRATEGY GAME
FOR THE SUSTAINABLE
MANAGEMENT OF THE
MARINE ENVIRONMENT
CETAMER turns its players into eco-
ambassadors for cetaceans and the marine
environment in the Ligurian Sea. What
problems do humans and marine species
come up against when they share the same
space? “How can we make sure human
activities exist in harmony with cetaceans?”
the group of young participants asked
themselves. The object of the game is to
increase harmony levels as much as possible
by completing various challenges (the game
starts with the harmony level at just 25%). As
if by magic, solutions emerge from the players
as they work together to manage the marine
environment in a sustainably, cetacean-
friendly way!

PLAYFUL LEARNING
The École Saint-Charles honoured Ocean Week
in school again this year by organising various
educational activities centred on protecting marine
species and their environment. The pupils were
given access to a host of different tools throughout
the week, including books, educational materials
and interactive team games. In addition, the AMPN
trialled new online games among different classes via
the platform Genially: an AMPN Trivial Pursuit-style
game about the marine environment and a snakes
and ladders-style game with a marine species theme,
featuring the concepts of human-caused pressures
and marine protected areas. All tools for getting young
people involved in the major issues facing the sea.
