Marine biodiversity: how to preserve the Posidonia meadow ?

In the Mediterranean, a large part of the biodiversity develops on the bottom between 0 and 50 m. It is at this depth that we find the Posidonia meadow, a flowering plant endemic to this sea, a real nursery for the Mediterranean marine world.

Meet our colleague Sandrine Ruitton, speaker of the program La Terre au Carré of Wednesday, September 8, 2021 !

An Ocean of Discovery: Twenty thousand leagues under the sea

CNRS Le Journal : Immersion in the Abyss.

The deep environment remains one of the least studied systems in the ocean. Christian Tamburini, director of research at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology, invites us to dive into these obscure waters.

Mapping project

On 7 and 8 July, aboard two zodiacs and the Anthédon, our Toulon colleagues from CEM/EMBIO carried out manoeuvres and took samples in the Rade de Toulon in order to obtain a "photo" of the surface contamination. The results of the MAPPING project will be presented at the end of the year. MIO contact: Stéphane Mounier (CEM)
