Engineering a Submerged Metropolis for 35,000 Marine Residents
In short: Discover the technical marvel behind Nausicaá, Europe's largest aquarium. This film explores the monumental marine engineering required to build a colossal underwater habitat in Northern France.
The project involves constructing a massive tank equivalent in size to four Olympic pools. To sustain its ecosystem, engineers developed a revolutionary water filtration system capable of supporting 35,000 sea creatures.
The expansion aims to welcome 22,000 new residents, including tropical fish and hammerhead sharks. The build represents a multidisciplinary collaboration between architects, biologists, and engineers to push the limits of marine infrastructure.
