Second visit to the Villa Méditerranée.

The last time we visited the Villa Méditerranée, it was linked with our project on the sea. We saw some videos, some photos, and thanks to them we realized how important it is to preserve our sea, our méditerranée. We also attended a debate where a man from an organization whose goal is to study our maritime world. The organization was "Ifremer" (English: French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea). It was really interesting. Some students asked questions (that we had prepared together) and the answers have helped us to complete our job on the sea. It was very interesting to see what is present under the sea, what kind of fishes live in the sea. When we learn more about it, we realize we don't really know what we swim in. We live on a coastal area. We'd better, therefore  be a bit more aware of what the sea is really. It's not a simple "big pool" of water ; there's a real life under it, a vast amount of diverse creatures.
