Cite de l'Ocean

The mission of the Cité de l'Océan et du Surf museum is to broaden the general public's understanding of issues about the ocean while investigating the educational and scientific value of the sea and surf, as well as how these elements influence our leisure activities, scientific research, and ecological systems.
