Protecting marine life
Here, we love the sea… and we respect it.
Le Souffle du Vivant supports an awareness initiative for the preservation of local marine wildlife, weakened by ecological pressures (pollution, warming, waste) and human pressures (disturbance, harvesting, anchoring).

Local wildlife
The area is home to rich underwater life, including the largest cetaceans: fin whales, sperm whales, schools of fish, octopus, starfish, sea urchins (don’t touch), and sometimes even dolphins offshore. Wildlife essential to the balance of the Mediterranean.
