When one thinks about the faunal diversity in our territory, we tend to imagine deer, butterflies, wild boars, herons, lizards, frogs.... However, both the Mediterranean littoral and the over 600 km of coast in the Valencian country are home to a great quantity of beast in all forms and colours: the submerged neighbourhood.

Following the disseminating spirit of sea affairs, the Marina Bioblau Group of Biology Students, being conscious of the importance of society’s and new generations’ implication on the curing, caring and protecting the marine environment, have organised the exhibition “Our submarine neighbours. Contemporary Mediterranean Bestiary” thanks to the support of the Cultural Centre of La Nau of the Universitat de València.  With an evolutionary-based structure of animal classes, the exhibition holds a selection of submarine photos of our water’s fauna and that of other seas and is accompanied by explicative texts which give a zoological context for each of the groups.  A trip based on the synergy between science and art towards the organisms in our blue world: from the most spectacular conspicuous and popular ones, to the most hidden and curious ones. A space thought to enjoy the photos of some of the inhabitants who are a part of us, of our natural values and who deserve both our respect and our admiration.
