This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.

This work seeks to understand to what extent the future wind farms that will be established in the Channel and the Atlantic can complement the existing network of MPAs in terms of surface gain on the one hand and coverage of the three facets of biodiversity (taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic) on the other hand. In a second step, a draft optimization of the network of wind farms in the Bay of Biscay and in the English Channel was carried out in order to identify the locations optimizing the conservation of taxonomic diversity

This document is the first annual report on dissemination and communication activities regarding DTOceanPlus project.

Proposal of protocols for measuring several biofouling variables (fresh weight in air, fresh weight in water, biovolume, thickness) that were tested during the project.

This report presents the analysis of the effects of climate change on the spatial distribution of different marine species frequenting the study site called Baie de Seine étendue using ecological niche models
