The secrets of colours in the ocean

This year, the scientific mediators at the Aquarium La Rochelle invite the whole family to explore the mysteries behind the colours of many marine species, from silver reflections to bright colours.

Through fifteen illustrated themes, combining scientific information and games, we discover that all these shades allow marine animals to develop incredible faculties to protect themselves, warn and even seduce!

This activity booklet will be on sale for €2.50 on the Aquarium’s online ticketing service and at the cash desk from 8 February 2023 (only available in French).
