As of today, peak season now, through ~September 15. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) forms coralligène/rocky-wall communities around Corsica.
Colonies are visible to divers year‑round at known coralligenous banks, but the recreational diving season for clear water and operator access runs late spring through early autumn.
Commercial harvesting is tightly regulated and limited by annual authorizations and local fallow (jachère) zones.
