MARÉIS : Centre de découverte de la pêche en mer

Mareis, an original concept, will make you discover the current fishing of the Staploise region, renowned throughout France for its quality and know-how, as well as the animal species of the English Channel and North Sea.

The guide takes you from the shipyard to the open sea. Discover the different fishing techniques as well as life on board a trawler. Learn the basics of navigation as well as some seamanship operations, such as tying a sailor's knot. Thanks to an underwater camera, explore the seabed on the beach, surprises guaranteed! Around the crates of fish landed from the docks, reflection is made on the future of fishing, tending towards a better management of the resource.
To end this rich guided tour, the giant aquariums reveal the riches and treasures that lie hidden in the Channel and North Sea. Observe more than 500 animals, not forgetting the nursery area where young rays and dogfish can hatch from their eggs at any time. Finally, the touch pool is the highlight of the visit. Young and old can put their hands in the water to stroke stingrays and other turbots.
