Biodiversarium, Public aquarium in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France.
The Biodiversarium presents 300 marine species from the Catalan coast in naturalistic basins that replicate their authentic Mediterranean environments and habitats.
The facility underwent a complete transformation at the end of 2017, moving to new premises and restructuring its approach to focus on local marine heritage.
The Biodiversarium functions as a scientific mediation service of the Oceanological Observatory, connecting researchers, students, and the public through educational programs.
Located at 1 Avenue Pierre Fabre, the aquarium opens Tuesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 18:30, with adult admission priced at 10.50 euros.
Visitors can observe scientists conducting research in open laboratories, making it the only aquarium in Europe offering this behind-the-scenes experience.
