Why attend
Dive beyond the familiar blue into the mesophotic zone, a twilight world between 30 and 200 meters deep, where life thrives in near secrecy.
Session Description
Join Megan Bryce, Under The Pole's Advocacy Manager, for a high-speed descent into one of the ocean’s least explored frontiers. Through the groundbreaking DEEPLIFE scientific program, Under The Pole—alongside an international research consortium led by the CNRS—is revealing the mysteries of these fragile ecosystems. Why does this matter? 99% of the mesophotic zone lies within national waters, yet it remains completely absent from marine conservation policies. Without urgent action, this overlooked ecosystem faces increasing threats. In just a few minutes, discover how cutting-edge exploration, science, and policy can bridge this gap—and how you can be part of the movement to bring the mesophotic zone out of the shadows and into the heart of marine conservation.Organised by
