The Plankton Chronicles Project is a series of short videos combining art and science. They reveal the beauty and diversity of organisms adrift in the currents.

The « Plankton Chronicles » project was started in the context of the Tara Oceans Expedition and the Institut de la Mer de Villefranche-sur-Mer (IMEV). Christian Sardet, Research Director with the CNRS at Villefranche-sur-Mer conceived the first 4 episodes of the series with Véronique Kleiner and Catherine Balladur from CNRS Images (Meudon). All other episodes were produced by Christian Sardet (IMEV & CNRS Côte-d'Azur) with Noe Sardet and Sharif Mirshak, Parafilms, Montreal. The project and site are sponsored by CNRS, Sorbonne Université and the Ville de Nice.
