the Restrictive measures for households and businesses because of the pandemic coronavirus infection led to a significant improvement of the ecological situation in many regions of the world. In France, one of the most affected by the new virus countries (125931 identified case of the disease, 13215 dead), these changes are visible not only in the big cities, but also at sea. In the South-Eastern part of the country deserted the world-famous beaches, significantly decreased the number of ships and yachts. As a result, the banks began to return the animals there for a long time not seen.

In the waters of the Calanques National Park, which is near Marseille, on 7 April spotted the fin whales. This species of whale (size – 18 to 24 meters in the Northern hemisphere and a weight of 40-70 tons) is the second largest animal on the planet and is second on this indicator only to the blue whale. In the sea now runs much smaller vessels. That is why, experts say, these mammals grew bolder and began to approach the coastal zone, transmits television channel Euronews.

“any human activity is almost absent. Whales become more calm, you can say, serene. Their behavior looks confident. Animals find new spaces for the game. This is a place that they usually leave during the intensive Maritime traffic. Therefore, we see the whales away from the coast of Marseille. But now is another matter, the whales are back,” says Didier Ro the national Park of the Calanques.

Also in the national Park say that in the coastal waters of the Bouches-du-rhône appeared dolphins, tuna and sea birds.

And 9 April in the beach town of Menton on the French Riviera sailed shark. Her near empty because of the coronavirus port took video of a student from the local campus SciencePo, according to RFI.

the author of the video in an interview Franceinfo said that she saw a shark from the balcony at about noon. “At first we thought it was a Dolphin. But I looked in the binoculars and saw that it’s a shark. She swam back along the beach, sometimes accelerating. It all lasted 3-5 minutes,” said the student.

“This is clearly a shark and not a bony fish. We see fish of cylindrical shape with characteristic fins,” – said in an interview with local TV channel, France 3, the representative of the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco Pierre Gilles and added that fish behaves calmly and probably was not hurt.

Sharks are often found in the Mediterranean sea not far from Menton and Monaco, but they don’t usually come in close to shore. According to the head of the tourism research center of the sea and mountains from nice Richard Selma, sharks keep away from ports because of the noise. “The effect is visible as soon as the person leaves, nature taking its toll,” said the expert.
