ADT 66The educational ambitions of Les Enfants de la Mer
Environmental protection can be learned from a very early age. This is the message that "Les Enfants de la Mer" aims to get across, through regular events aimed at young children and brought directly into schools.
The programme also arranges school field trips in order to raise awareness of environmental issues among children.
A good way of gently introducing the younger generations to the fragility of nature, both at sea and on land.
