Vilebrequin Foundation x Te Mana O Te Moana
To protect the formidable species that inhabit our oceans, the Vilebrequin Foundation supports the Te Mana O Te Moana association, dedicated amongst other things to the protection and preservation of sea turtles in French Polynesia.
Together, we act through different actions: at the care center for sea turtles in Te Mana O Te Moana, we participate in the recovery and release of treated turtles; we contribute to the protection of green turtle nesting sites of the atoll of Tetiaroa, while thus helping to improve the hatching success rate. We support the organization's Hei Moana program, which trains volunteers to collect data in local marine environments in French Polynesia.
