In New Caledonia, a team of scientists from the organisation Conservation International are investigating the marine biodiversity of the lagoons in a bid to protect the unique site. The project will involve cataloging the fauna of the lagoon and collecting data on the coral reefs. The scientific mission will take a month and finish in the middle of December of this year.
