Mediterranean - An Ocean of Life
Greg Lecoeur
Cradle of civilizations and crossroads of biodiversity, the Mediterranean is a small blue spot between continents — covering barely 0.8% of the world’s ocean surface — yet it shelters more than 10% of the known marine biodiversity on Earth. A true hotspot, refuge for heritage species, endemics, and many threatened animals.
This exhibition reveals the unexpected and vibrant richness of its ecosystems: dolphins, sperm whales, sea turtles, gorgonians, seagrass meadows… A thriving, precious life.
But this living world is wavering. Climate change, pollution, overfishing, maritime traffic… So many pressures weakening this jewel of our shared heritage.
This exhibition invites you to dive into this hidden world. To behold its beauty, to feel its fragility. To reconnect with life.
Because to look at the sea is not just to admire the horizon.
It is also to hear its whispers, understand its struggles, and commit, at our scale, to protect it.
