In The spray zonethe rare remaining species are those that support rain, wind and salt. There are lichens, between algae and mushrooms, as well as some mobile animals such as blue litter and Ligie. At the heart of an atmosphere marked by the presence of granite and in the open air, this area by which we can start the visit is ideal for entering the atmosphere of the sea. The idea of the Trégastel aquarium is to leave each living being in its natural space, hence the presence of this special area. In the depth areavisitors have the opportunity to meet species that do not come from the tides, but which live in the dark: anemones, sponges, gorgones, rousses, rays or even congresses. 50,000 liters of water were necessary to reconstruct the Breton seabed. In another atmosphere, The tide area Allows you to meet dorades, bars, hippocamples, lobsters or scallops. The discovery of the lobster remains essential since it is the mascot of the establishment.
