At the interface between the scientific world and the general public, the We Are Méditerranée association, founded by the naturalist photographer Greg Lecoeur, aims to reconnect Man with Nature. By combining Exploration, Art, Science and Education, its objective is to promote the marine heritage of the Mediterranean through images to amaze, to awaken curiosity and to raise awareness of beauty and the fragility of the marine world. Originally from Nice and a lover of the Mediterranean Sea since early childhood, Greg Lecoeur became interested in marine biology and diving at a very young age.

At the age of 32, with a diving instructor's certificate in his pocket, he sold his company and lived his dream: a year around the world with his camera. Upon his return, Lecoeur’s insights and unique perspective were featured in French and international publications, and he received his first award: "Golden Diver" at the Aquatic Festival in 2015.

Since then, Lecoeur has dedicated all his time to his passion for the marine world. Deeply committed to the preservation of the oceans, his documentation and expeditions contribute to an in-depth knowledge of underwater biodiversity and the enhancement of our planet's environmental heritage.
