    They are amazing. It's the so called Golden Kelp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminaria_ochroleuca) and it's present on both shores of the strait but it's deep. It starts form 65m/213ft. The colony on the Sicily shore is the best (the ones filmed in this doc).

    Roberto Rinaldi filmed the Laminaria with his Canon C500 MKII.

    P.S.

    A tragic note. The researcher speaking in the video is Lorenzo Bramanti. One of the top experts on mesophotic systems in the Mediterranean and a researcher at the French CNRS. Unfortunately, Lorenzo died suddenly at the age of 52 in his home in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France, at the end of June 2026.
