Containing over 70% of the planet’s surface and 97% of its biosphere, the ocean plays a fundamental role in climate regulation, producing 50% of the world’s oxygen and absorbing 25% of the its carbon dioxide.

Since its creation in 2006, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has placed ocean-related issues at the heart of its work: to better understand environmental hazards which oceans are exposed to, combating plastic pollution, protecting endangered species, promoting innovative and sustainable solutions and strengthening and developing marine protected areas.

Chaired by HSH the Sovereign Prince and organized by Milutin Gatsby, Global Fundraising Chairman, the first edition of the Monte-Carlo Gala for the Oceans will honor Leonardo DiCaprio for his exemplary work in the preservation of our Planet.
