UMR BEEP

The last frontier to explore, an environment with potentially 1 million species to discover, the least anthropized area to protect, a vast reservoir of biological, energy and mineral resources to meet the growing world demand. The deep sea have long suffered from a lack of knowledge due to their difficult accessibility, which has perpetuated the distorted image of a calm, quiet and almost abyssal plain, quiet and almost deserted, preserved from anthropic pressures.
