Launched as a prelude to the Ocean Literacy World Conference in Venice on 7-8 June 2024, the Fil Bleu initiative unites artisans, small businesses and local associations to promote their environmentally-sustainable practices and foster ocean literacy.

By displaying the fil bleu, these Blue Artisans proudly express their commitment to sustainability and their active role as environmental stewards. They also become champions of the Venice Declaration for Ocean Literacy, a document which proposes a series of strategies to expand the reach and impact of ocean literacy initiatives worldwide, and aims to place the topic at the forefront of the agenda at the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice.

 Together, we're raising awareness of the actions each of us can take to ensure the ocean we need for the future we want.

Showcase your dedication to ocean conservation, connect with other sustainable businesses, inspire others to protect our vital marine resources: join the Fil Bleu network today!
