Year of the Sea

Why do abyssal animals look so strange?

Nausicaá and Esprit sorcier explain the superpowers of the animals of the deep, who live in extreme conditions.

As part of the 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 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.

Animals living in the deep sea have a distinctive appearance that can be explained by the extreme conditions in which they live.

Find out more from Coline, scientific mediator at Nausicaá.
