Onet joins Fabrice Amedeo in protecting the marine ecosystem
International Whale Day
Our partner Fabrice Amedeo, committed to the preservation of the oceans, is once again working to protect the marine ecosystem.
To mark the occasion, discover the second podcast, "The Whales".

Unfortunately, collisions with cetaceans are a frequent occurrence. Fabrice Amedeo wants to talk about it: " If 30 IMOCAs launched around the world can't escape collisions with cetaceans, what about the world's commercial fleet?
