105 years ago today, Prince Albert I of delivered his legendary speech on the health of our oceans - « Discours sur l’Ocean » - at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.

Known as the “Explorer Prince,” Albert I of Monaco was a visionary scientist and dedicated conservationist whose call to protect marine ecosystems continues to guide us today. The full text is available on the website of Musée océanographique de Monaco 🌊

As we honor this historic legacy, 2026 also marks an important milestone: the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Monaco and the United States.

Two decades of strengthened ties, cultural exchange, and shared commitment to a more sustainable future — a friendship rooted in history, common values, and a lasting dedication to the ocean.
