The Argonauts Collective is a movement to federate and unite French marine stakeholders behind a common banner. We work with organizations from the field (NGOs, scientists, public institutions...) and public & private partners to propose a new vision of marine conservation. Our purpose is to build a national community around marine conservation to educate the public to key ocean topics. Our first big project will be to realize a series of 10 episodes, on the field with marine stakeholders, documenting people and solutions for marine environments. With this series, we will create a dynamic and attractive format for young generations, and give a voice to NGOs, scientists and other marine experts and passionate dedicated to work for a more sustainable future. Thanks to our work and vision, we hope to create a snowball effect and carry a maximum of people within our movement.
