Safeguarding the Ocean is an issue that is particularly close to Prince Albert II of Monaco’s heart. The Sovereign Prince is particularly involved in this issue through his Foundation. More than 535 projects have already been supported via the Prince Albert II Foundation, in the three priority geographical regions of the Mediterranean Basin, the Polar Regions and the Least Developed Countries, which are strongly impacted by the effects of climate change, the loss of biodiversity and threats to water resources. To date, the Prince has become the leader in protecting the Ocean.
