> Communication...
The objective of the project is to call on the professionals of the maritime sector about the utmost importance to preserve our environment, especially marine environment.
Advertising about this project is therefore essential to its realization. During our previous round trips, Le Manguier, thanks to its size and work boat quality, allowed us to meet a wide range of qualified professionals.
Therefore we have targeted this public we are already acquainted with:
- Fishing sector
- Fishing port management and labour relation board
- Small work boats for passengers transport
- Small shipyards (construction and/or repair)
- Maritimes Affairs and other official authorities
- Schools

> The film of the expedition
A film is produced by a professional team in co-production with « Idée Originale » and France 3 Corse. A teaser is already made and will soon be available on this website. (créer lien hypertexte vers site web de France 3 Corse et Idée Originale)
It is to be noted that the largest part of the navigation will take place in totally unspoiled areas (especially the Northeast Passage), that leads us to anticipate a collection of pictures and shots particularly original.
> Books
At the end of the Expedition, two books will be published:
• A « Road Diary », narration of the expedition made with the team members, putting together their different talents of writers, photographs and painters.
• A « Cooking Diary » : an original recipes diary, made from the inspiration or our meetings and food on board. This diary will be illustrated by Cécile Zawieja-Hercher, painter and in charge of the food during the expedition, and France Pinczon du Sel, aquarellist and polar sailor. The objective of this diary will be to show that nutrition on board and during and expedition can also be balanced, tasty and creative.
We are already in touch with several French editors (Actes Sud, Glénat, Nathan, Gallimard).
Our partners will be mentioned in these publications.
These publications will be presented and dedicated to the public during the events in which the Manguier team members will be invited to participate (Shows, Festivals, etc.).
> Television / Radio/ Press
Local and national radios, Tv’s and press are associated before and during the Expedition to make known the adventure to a large public. Journalists are also invited for a press conference during the « Stop over Events » organized all along the route.

> Actions organized during stop overs
Several events take place between Bastia and Tokyo, before and during the Expedition:
Stop over Events
The idea is to create a big meeting with the local people linked to the maritime field, in big fishing ports where Le Manguier will stop, through the promotion of a more ecological navigation:
• Example of a « Stop over Event »
Morning:
Press conference :
Visits of the boat : présentation des différents équipements alternatifs installés à bord et exposé sur la rentabilité de ces équipements (comparatif investissement/coût de fonctionnement des différents systèmes).
Noon :
Aperitif on board and « solar grilled fish » (on solar heater)
Afternoon:
Discussion and conference: on the theme of Econavigation, with the help of resourceful people.
(i.e : mixed-propulsion and adaptation on board working boat).
Planned stop overs :
