A documentary on the world’s oceans was screened as part of Monaco’s participation in the EXPO 2012 Yeosu on Sunday.

Jacques Perrin, who is an ambassador for the Expo and director of the documentary “Oceans,” screened his film for guests on the Monaco pavilion’s national day. The documentary was sponsored by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

The film was enjoyed by Monaco’s Prince Albert II who is in Korea to attend the Expo and promote the protection of marine protected areas.

The prince attended the celebration at the Monaco pavilion ahead of the third edition of the Monaco Blue Initiative, to be held Monday.

MBI is a think tank which brings together political, economic, scientific experts with interests in the sustainable management of the oceans.

The third edition of the event, co-organized by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Oceanographic Institute, was to be attended by 40 high level people from more than 20 countries to develop cooperation between ocean protection and economic development.

The Monaco Blue Initiative was first launched in 2010 and will hold its fourth edition in Monaco next spring. Created in 2006, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation is supporting more than 198 marine projects on five continents.
