NICE, FRANCE, 08 June 2025 – To mark ‘World Ocean Day’ on the eve of the first day of the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), performers from Ocean Rebellion ripped open a giant can of Petit Navire tuna outside a Monoprix supermarket to highlight the combined threats industrial tuna fisheries pose to both human life and marine biodiversity including juvenile yellowfin tuna, sharks, turtles and cetaceans.
 
A ‘dead sailor’ was revealed in the giant tuna can, whilst nearby a sailor sang an ironic version of the popular French song ‘Il Était un Petit Navire’ as smartly dressed Ocean Rebellion performers wearing realistic yellowfin tuna heads stared into space confusing and enchanting passersby and early morning commuters.

The Ocean Rebellion performers were joined by two French lawmakers from 'La France insoumise'; Emma Fourreau, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in Brussels and Pierre-Yves Caladen, French National Assembly Member for Brest.
