🪸🐠La zone mésophotique au Congrès Mondial de la Nature ? 🐠🪸

Entre 30 et 200 mètres de profondeur, la zone mésophotique – du grec signifiant « moyenne lumière » – est un espace fascinant, au coeur de nos expéditions et spécifiquement du programme scientifique DEEPLIFE.

"Le sujet des forêts marines de la zone mésophotique peut sembler pointu, et réservé à une petite communauté scientifique. En réalité, ces espaces sous-marins situés entre 30 et 200m de profondeur sont aussi importants que les forêts terrestres et nous concernent tous".
