After the spectacular immersion of 3D concrete reefs in the 300 meter strip off Agde, it’s the turn of a “village” of artificial reefs! Objective: to protect wildlife and welcome divers. It is the largest project of this type in the world. What do we call these homes full of holes and nooks, cleverly imagined, […]
