"The challenges of wetland conservation and management of these natural environments"
With: Marie-Hélène Amétrano, CSR environment expert moderator | Emeline Pujolas, CEN PACA | Christian Marquis, ecologist | Olivier Rovellotti, Director of Natural Solutions | Pascal Bazile, ZoRRO project coordinator for 8 vies pour la planète
BATUCADA
18:30 | BRASS BAND "VENTS METIS"
The laboratory caravan of 8 Vies pour la planète, painted by an artist and renamed "The Nautile", serves as a showcase to present our actions of replanting seagrass meadows in the Berre Lagoon.
It is equipped with an interactive touch-screen aquarium and a periscope that allows visitors to virtually dive into the underwater world of the Berre Lagoon, in search of sea eelgrass and other resident species. An explanatory exhibition on the ZoRRO project (seagrass bed replanting project) completes this space.
