OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE, MONACO

The Institute of Oceanography was founded by Prince Albert I of Monaco in 1906, the greatgreat-grandfather of the current honorary president H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The Institute is the research body of the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and the House of the Oceans in Paris and is involved in numerous environmental projects on the national and international scene. Importantly, it contributes to the Principality’s own commitment to protecting the ocean and to disseminating the science of Oceanography to the public through communication, educational programmes, outreach projects, exhibitions, and symposiums.

In 2022, the Cuomo Foundation committed to supporting the Institute’s activities and aims, which play such an important educational role in conserving the marine environment and its inhabitants for the future.
