In response to the preservation issues of this natural heritage site, the CPIE des Iles de Lérins et Pays d’Azur opened the Méditerranoscope® Point Info Biodiversité®. This space, which holds aquariums with reconstituted seabeds from around the Lérins Islands, is dedicated to awareness and informing the public.
