A PI delegation formed by the International President Pierre Zappelli, the General Secretary Simona Callo, the International Board Member Giorgio Chinellato and the Vice President of the Panathlon Club Mestre Marta de Manincor met with the top management of the One Ocean Foundation chaired by Commodore Riccardo Bonadeo to discuss and implement the collaboration agreement already signed in 2019, just before the pandemic. The aim of this meeting was to sign a specific and operational project to continue the collaboration with new concrete actions. In March, we will try to launch the awareness-raising project by organising a joint event followed by the involvement of Panathlon and Nautical Clubs, inviting them not only to sign the Charta Smeralda, but also to spread the principles of water protection through the practice of sport, as indicated by the IOC (2020+5 project) and the UN (recommendation no. 10). Other moments of collaboration could be identified during the International Oceans Week and other events.
