Welcome to the BEEP website!

From samples collected from the ocean floor to data analysis and publications, the main mission of our technicians, engineers, teachers and researchers is to study deep-sea ecosystems. Biodiversity, larval dispersal, food webs, habitat characterization, assessment of impacts or study of the production of molecules of economic interest are some of the themes that inspire our team!
If you want to know more about our activities, then follow us and discover the unsuspected riches of the ocean depths!
