What is coral?

Animal or vegetal? Nausicaá and Esprit sorcier explain what coral is.

As part of the Année de la mer - Year of the Sea, Nausicaá has teamed up with l'Esprit sorcier to produce 5 videos on marine subjects. The videos will be published regularly, along with those of the other participants, leading up to the United Nations Conference on the Oceans - UNOC 3 - to be held in Nice from 9 to 13 June 2025.

Whether animal, mineral or plant, coral intrigues and fascinates.

This small animal is the planet's largest builder, and the reefs it forms are home to 30% of known biodiversity. It is essential to the balance of the ocean.
