Teredo Project funded: Deflam!

Teredo Project funded: Deflam!

New project funded, “Deflam” (“Transfer and recycling of dead wood along the Mediterranean continental margin”), is about the mysterious shipworm. This 'worm' is really a bivalve, and some might call it the perfect drilling machine. Deflam is an unusual multi-disciplinary study about these and other organisms which colonize driftwood in the sea. Funded for two years (2016-2018) by INEE-CNRS.
