International Commission for the Scientific Exploration of the Mediterranean Sea (CIESM)
Launched in 1910, CIESM is one of the oldest and most enduring scientific intergovernmental organisations in the world. The Commission is currently funded by 22 Member States which support the work of a large scientific network - some 500 institutes and over 2500 researchers - united by a commitment to promote marine science for the lasting protection of the Mediterranean Sea and for the well-being of its coastal populations.
CIESM was created early in this century to promote international research in the Mediterranean Sea. The Commission acts as a focus for the exchange of ideas, the communication of scientific information and the development of scientific standards across the Basin. http://www.ciesm.org/

Educational Institutions
The University of Corsica
The Institut Fédératif d’Etude et de Valorisation de la Biodiversité Insulaire Méditerranéenne (I.F.E.V.) of the University of Corsica.
The research themes proposed are in accordance with a unique goal: to study marine and lagoonal coastal ecosystems containing phanerogams. This approach involves (i) fundamental research whose aim it is to increase our understanding of coastal Mediterranean ecosystems and which is made possible through a number of international research programs, and (ii) applied research allowing the development of tools to be used in the protection and valorization of the Corsican coasts, thus answering the demands of local government officials. http://www.univ-corse.fr
The Aquariums
Aquarium La Rochelle
Great Site with cool pictures of critters, especially tropical shrimps, videos and more. With more than 65 aquariums that cover the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Tropical Waters, this aquarium is a place to dream, understand and teach about our Oceans. http://www.aquarium-larochelle.com/
Cite de la Mer
Very cool site of the "La Cite de la Mer" aquarium. Tagline is "the emotion of the deep explorers." A visit to this aquarium is based on the emotions felt by the great deep water explorers. "It's cold, it's dark, it's hungry and it's deep" said Théodore Monod when he went down in the bathyscaph for a deep dive.
There is a section that shows the visitors the underwater scenes of the North Pole and an area where you can "immerse" and find out for yourself what it is like to "explore" the oceans.
