This is illustrated by the experience of the Université Internationale de la Mer, based on the French Côte d’Azur. The article describes different ways by which arts and sciences help in ocean acculturation and exploration, as well as the need of combining artistic and scientific mindsets for ocean and coastline foresight exercises. Both acculturation and foresight efforts will be key for coping with long term ocean challenges highlighted at UNOC3.}}
