Résumé
Bien qu’un nombre grandissant d’études soulignent les bienfaits de l’interaction avec la nature (Institut de cardiologie de Montréal, 2021), rares sont celles qui se penchent spécifiquement sur le rôle des environnements marins dans le cadre des pratiques centrées sur la nature et l’aventure. Or, ces espaces qu’il convient d’appeler les « environnements bleus » possèdent des caractéristiques qui leur sont propres et sont reconnus notamment pour leurs effets bénéfiques sur la santé physiologique et psychologique (White et al., 2020). Il existe à travers le monde différents programmes qui, par l’entremise d’un séjour en mer à bord d’un voilier, ont pour but de soutenir des personnes et des groupes vivant diverses difficultés (Schijf et al., 2017). Les pratiques d’intervention misant sur la navigation à voile offrent ainsi une singulière occasion d’immersion dans un environnement marin. Cet article présente des résultats de recherche et une réflexion quant à ce phénomène à ce jour peu étudié sous l’angle du travail social. L’article s’appuie sur les résultats préliminaires d’un mémoire de maitrise en travail social en cours de réalisation à l’Université du Québec à Rimouski qui vise, par une approche phénoménologique, à mieux comprendre l’expérience vécue par les personnes intervenantes et participantes lors d’une expédition en voilier sur le Saint-Laurent en contexte d’intervention sociale.

Abstract
Although a growing number of studies emphasize the benefits of interaction with nature (Montreal Heart Institute, 2021), few studies specifically address the role of marine environments in nature and adventure based practices. However, so-called “blue environments” have their own characteristics and are recognized for their beneficial effects on physiological and psychological health (White et al., 2020). There are various programs around the world that, through a stay at sea on a sailboat, aim to support individuals and groups experiencing various difficulties (Schijf et al., 2017). Intervention practices that rely on sailing thus offer a singular opportunity for immersion in a marine environment. This article presents research findings and reflections on this phenomenon, which has been little studied to date from a social work perspective. The article is based on the preliminary results of a master’s thesis in social work being carried out at the Université du Québec à Rimouski which aims, through a phenomenological approach, to better understand the experience lived by the interveners and participants during a sailing expedition on the St. Lawrence River in a social intervention context.
