A sporting and scientific challenge to preserve the oceans
Since 2019, Onet has been supporting Fabrice Amedeo in his #OceanCalling project, which aims to collect scientific data on the state of the oceans using onboard oceanographic sensors.
His Imoca, a veritable floating laboratory, ran without fossil fuels thanks to 16 m² of solar panels and two hydro-generators, confirming his commitment to the energy transition and ocean preservation.
