The last frontier to explore, an environment with potentially 1 million species to discover, the least anthropized area to protect, a vast reservoir of biological, energy and mineral resources to meet the growing world demand. The deep sea have long suffered from  a lack of knowledge due to their difficult accessibility, which has perpetuated the distorted image of a calm, quiet and almost abyssal plain, quiet and almost deserted, preserved from anthropic pressures.

If you want to know more about our activities, then follow us and discover the unsuspected riches of the ocean depths!
