Abstract
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. During this REINFORCE webinar, Séverine Martini (MIO) explained how pelagic organisms give light to deep-sea environments. Watch the webinar again !
Emilie Strady and Xavier Mari will represent the MIO during two side events proposed by France and Japan in the frame of the 8th Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (8th APFSD; https://www.unescap.org/apfsd/8) and taking place virtually from Thailand on March 23-26, 2021. The theme of the 8th APFSD is "Sustainable and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and the Pacific".
The objective of the project is to improve the understanding of trophic transfers of contaminants (metals, Hg, MeHg, PCBs, pesticides, PAHs, alkanes) between water, plankton and planktonophages through transdisciplinary (biology, ecology, chemistry, modeling) and multi-tool approaches.

In partnership with their Marseille counterparts at IMBE, researchers from the MIO laboratory at the University of Toulon are studying the role of dissolved organic carbon on the ecology of the rope lake. Classified as a "sentinel", this ecosystem sensitive to climate change could foreshadow future ocean changes.
How are the fish populations fished in France in 2020? Are their demographics in good shape or are they at the bottom of the wave? Is the renewal of generations of fish assured, and are the ecosystems to which they belong sufficiently productive and healthy for the waters frequented by our fishermen to continue to be sustainably full of fish, today and tomorrow?
Co-financed by the State and local authorities, Ifremer's head office is located on the Institute's largest scientific research center. It houses the central services and governance of the institute formerly located in Issy-les-Moulineaux. Called "Bougainville", this building, built according to the High Environmental Quality (HQE) standards, is part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach that now guides the institute's actions.
