Its coiled castins are a familiar sight on a beach at low tide but the animal itself is rarely seen except by those who, from curiosity or to use as fishing bait, dig the worm out of the sand. In the video I made you can see a egg blow lugworm, Arenicola marina, anchored to the Mediterranean sea floor at about 40 cm depth.

Humpback Whales of Samaná

I went to the Samaná Peninsula, in Santo Domingo, to film the Humpback Whales in one of the world's breeding grounds for these whales. During this period, the Humpback Whales stay until the welps acquire, after the nursing period, their autonomy, but above all to protect them from the Orcas, their main predators. During winter and early spring, humpback whale watching is increasingly becoming an important income-generating activity for the province.

Special mission mediterranean Spiny Lobster

It is late August and Summer is the period in which many marine organisms prepare for procreation. We have therefore decided to reach a deep Mediterranean coral reef, over 7 miles from the coast. The procreation have pushed these crustaceans to gather at the same time and in the same place. Procreation, in fact, occurs at the end of the Summer and in the Winter the larvae are born, which immediately reach the seabed that will host them for the rest of their lives.
