The coral reef is home to a remarkable biodiversity. All these living organisms contribute to maintaining the balance of this complex ecosystem. However, for decades now, the reef has been suffering from aggression linked to the development of human activities. Today, it is in danger. The purpose of this trail is to raise public awareness of this degradation and encourage eco-responsible behavior. Discover the beauty and fragility of the coral reef free of charge on a marked trail, equipped with fins, mask and snorkel, accompanied by a marine reserve guide.
