Les entrées de grottes sous-marines abritent une faune luxuriante, composée d'organismes extrêmement colorés et dits "sciaphiles". Ici, au large de Marseille (Le Veyron), on peut voir l'éponge tubulaire "Haliclona mediterranea" au centre de l'image, et tout autour des polypes du scléractiniaire (coraux) solitaire "Leptosammia pruvoti" et une multitude d'autres organismes sessiles.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
