Editor of Environment

Helga Piaget, the Editor of Environment for The Monegasque™, was born in Bavaria, Germany, where she studied economics and art history at the University of Munich. In 1991, she married Yves Piaget and was honored to become a Monegasque citizen by the grace of HSH Prince Rainier III. Residing between Monaco and Florida, Helga is a dedicated advocate for marine conservation. Driven by her lifelong passion for the sea, she founded the nonprofit organization PASSION SEA in 2014, an initiative that bridges the gap between art and education to champion ocean preservation. Her commitment to global environmental awareness was further solidified in 2018 with the publication of her book, WATER IS LIFE: Thoughts of Our Generation.
