Exhibition: “Zostera: Seagrass Meadows Under the Sea”

May 20 through November 30, 2017
Thau Lagoon Museum, Bouzigues (34), from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thanks to funding from the Fondation de France and research supported by the Total Foundation, the exhibition “Eelgrass: Meadows Under the Sea” has come to life. Come discover this temporary exhibition, which will introduce you to the extraordinary world of eelgrass beds—an aquatic flowering plant of which there are two species in France and in the Thau Lagoon, Zostera marina and Z. noltei ! These ecosystems, recognized by scientists as being of great importance, are in fact under threat worldwide, and it is essential that the public quickly become aware of their value and fragility in order to protect them and ensure their preservation for future generations. You’ll learn all about eelgrass beds—from their biology to their conservation, including all the services they provide to humans and nature in general.
