Renowned ocean activist Paul Watson will serve as the official patron of the 2025 edition of Galathea – Festival International du Monde Marin. As founder of Sea Shepherd and a globally recognised advocate for marine conservation, Watson’s involvement adds significant symbolic and media weight to the upcoming event.

The festival team describes Watson as a figure who embodies the spirit of awareness, commitment, and knowledge-sharing that defines Galathea. His presence is expected to amplify the festival’s impact in 2025, with several special events linked to his participation set to be announced soon.
