MARSEILLE, France, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The CMA CGM Group, a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, recognizes the global importance and urgency of healthy oceans and is committed to continuing with its efforts to ensure that our oceans are used sustainably, as well as ensuring that shipping services are ever more respectful of the environment.

Committed to protecting the oceans
This involvement of the CMA CGM Group is reflected in particular by the Reef Recovery program to restore coral reefs. These reefs are home to 25% of marine biodiversity and make up 0.2% of the ocean surface, with 2 to 4 million species including 6,000 species of marine fish.

Aware of the importance of these corals’ ecosystems, the CMA CGM Group launched this initiative in late 2020, with an initial nursery along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia with ANL, the Group’s expert shipping subsidiary in Oceania. The project has been made possible thanks to the work of the Group along with its partner, NGO Reef Restoration Foundation (RRF), which has already allowed for more than 1,000 coral plants to be planted .

This coral protection program was gradually extended in 2021, mainly to the Philippines and Malaysiato protect and regenerate 6,000 km2 within the Coral Triangle with non-profit organization Endangered Species International, of which CMA CGM is a partner in this region.
