La Seyne-Sur-Mer celebrated more than 40 years of deep-sea exploration on 27 October.
On the occasion of its 40th anniversary and as part of the France2030 plan, IFREMER has reaffirmed its commitment to its partners to promote knowledge of the oceans and access to the deep seabed, focusing in the Mediterranean on five strategic areas for the future.
It was also an opportunity to mark the 40th anniversary of the manned submarine Nautile, the flagship of the French oceanographic fleet operated by Ifremer and its armament subsidiary GENAVIR, whose mission has been extended until 2035!
Valérie Michotey, Director of the MIO, took part in the event.
