This is absolutely necessary for a major fishing nation like France, whose state-funded research institutes can sometimes engage in self-censorship. We have therefore chosen to establish genuine research programs, such as a <strong>research institute<\/strong> , to give our actions and statements unassailable legitimacy. Whenever possible, we publish our analyses in international scientific journals, and our work is carried out in collaboration with researchers from around the world.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bloomassociation.org\/nos-actions\/sensibilisation-et-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Education<\/a> , to empower as many people as possible to make responsible choices.

We are engaged in <strong>legislative<\/strong> action through citizen advocacy and participation in public consultations and institutional processes. We fight to ensure that political decision-makers and private actors protect the ocean. This fight translates into supporting elected officials, evaluating public and private practices, mobilizing citizens, and taking legal action.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Livret-10-ans-Version-Def-20-dec-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/themes\/woodmart\/images\/lazy.svg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Capture-decran-2024-04-08-110552.png\" alt=\"\" class=\" wd-lazy-fade wp-image-1272971 size-full\" srcset=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Capture-decran-2024-04-08-110552.png 482w, https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Capture-decran-2024-04-08-110552-150x148.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hopstore.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Capture-decran-2024-04-08-110552-300x297.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To mark the association&#8217;s 10th anniversary, a beautiful booklet has been written which showcases the extent of BLOOM&#8217;s actions, awareness campaigns and campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to them, because we agree, it&#8217;s TOO important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for a visual preview, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lbDd_XitmiQ\">here<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I encourage you to check out the page listing the various awards received by the association and by Claire herself; it&#8217;s impressive!
