The Fondation Pacifique
A shared passion for the great marine spaces and a strong awareness of the ecological stakes of our time.
Founded in Geneva in 2007, the Fondation Pacifique is a Swiss non-profit organization recognized as a public utility.
Sailboats
To carry out its expeditions, the Fondation Pacifique operates traditional sailing vessels designed as ideal logistics platforms for the scientific programs implemented by its scientific partners.
Expeditions
The Fondation Pacifique's expeditions are designed and conducted in a spirit of multi-disciplinarity and experience sharing. This philosophy translates into a constant search for synergies between the scientific, socio-educational and cultural aspects of each of these expeditions or one-off missions.
