THE PROTECTION OF OUR ECOSYSTEMS

About Us

Don't Wait Until Tomorrow

The marine environment is a precious heritage that must be protected and restored. Niris works to maintain the biodiversity in vulnerable marine habitats, contributing to the overall diversity of our oceans. It is our hope to restore and protect these environments and return them to a healthy and productive state. Our mission is twofold: Firstly, to contribute to the protection of aquatic ecosystems by sensitizing the state, managers, and public opinion, to take measures where there are gaps in environmental legislation and public sensitivity. And secondly, to look out for and inform on the impact of climate change on aquatic ecosystems.
