Join us as we dive into the crystal-clear waters of Liguria, Italy, to discover the geological feature called beachrock. Beachrocks are sedimentary rocks that are formed by beach sediments cemented by calcium carbonate, and they hold valuable information about past sea level changes. In this video, we will explain how beachrocks are formed, why they are important for understanding past sea level variations, and how they play a crucial ecological role for many fish species. Don't miss out on this fascinating exploration!
