The la mer et l'enfant association aims to select projects motivated by bringing viable solutions to preserve the environment, the coastline, the sea... and to provide them with advice and guidance as well as to support them as much as possible in their funding to make them sustainable and lasting. Projects are selected solely by a jury of child candidates aged 9 to 13, so they can envision at their level the sustainable world in which they, as adults tomorrow, will want to live.
