As a young researcher in microbial ecology, I specialise in understanding the responses of microbial communities to anthropogenic pressures in coastal zones.
MICROSURV aims to assess the relevance of different microbial indicators in different port contexts. Establishing the hierarchy of the human pressures exerted on the marine environment in the port environment could ultimately help to provide port managers with expertise enabling them to prioritise their actions with a view to achieving good ecological status for the water in their port.
