Here, our study aimed to first assess the influence of plastic on the bacterial community belonging to water, plastic and the microbiome of the giant clam and on the organism's physiology of this putative sentinel species. Our second objective was to identify bacteria whose abundance varies significantly with plastic concentration. Overall, this study will fill the gap towards a better understanding of the impact of plastic pollution on bacterial community assemblages in both inert and living environments.

Shom manages a network of permanent digital coastal tide-gauges on French coasts: the RONIM Sea Level Observation Network. Most tide-gauge observatories are partnered with one or more local partners.<br /><br /> Four main types of data are available for download:<br /> - “Raw high frequency" data: raw observations neither validated nor evaluated, obtained directly from the sensor. 1-minute measurement; integration time 15 seconds (on the minute); sampling period: 1 second.<br /><br /> - "Raw non-real time" data: raw observations neither validated nor evaluated, obtained directly from the sensor. 10-minute measurement; integration time 121 seconds (around every 10 minutes); sampling period: 1 second.<br /><br /> - "Validated non-real time" data: observations checked and validated by Shom from the "Raw non-real time" data. 10-minute measurement; integration time 121 seconds (around every 10 minutes); sampling period: 1 second.<br /><br /> - "Validated hourly" data: observations checked and validated by Shom, generated from "Validated non-real time" data. Hourly measurement obtained from the Vondrak filter with triangular weighting. The hourly height cannot be calculated in the event of an observation gap greater than 1.5 hours.

Ce projet s’attache à étudier les phénomènes Natech imputables à des inondations/tsunami en considérant deux échelles spatiales d’analyse : l’échelle du site industriel et l’échelle du territoire. Ces deux échelles permettent d’appréhender la problématique des Natechs d’une part d’un point de vue essentiellement « vulnérabilité » et d’autre part, grâce à une analyse plus globale et profonde qui fait résonner la notion de résilience territoriale. Le travail est basé sur une analyse a posteriori (au Japon) et a priori (en France) des pratiques de gestion des événements Natech auprès des parties prenantes (industriels, collectivités, services de l’état…). Pour cela, en France et au Japon, des questionnaires, des visites et des entretiens ont été réalisés sur des territoires touchés ou potentiellement concernés par le phénomène Natech inondation/tsunami. Ces données sont employées : -à l’échelle du site industriel, pour modéliser l’impact du phénomène naturel sur l’installation (par le biais notamment d’arbres de défaillances), puis produire deux outils d’aide à la décision (diagnostic de l’Etude de danger et diagnostic du Plan d’Opération Interne lors d’un événement Natech inondation) -à l’échelle du territoire pour modéliser le processus Natech, identifier 3 zones de fragilité, définir 5 scénarios de choc. Puis, en considérant que la résilience globale d’un territoire dépend notamment de la résilience des acteurs qui le constituent proposer un outil d’audit des parties prenantes du territoire afin d’estimer la résilience de chacun d’entre eux, les pistes de progrès et, in fine, améliorer la résilience du territoire qui les héberge. Mots-clefs : Natech, Science du danger, arbres de défaillance, aide à la décision, résilience territoriale.

The project was designed to explore biological rhythms in the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus. The experiment provides the first high-resolution temporal transcriptomes of an hydrothermal species, both in situ and in the laboratory.

Successive infections with Vibrio harveyi were conducted in two populations of the European abalone in order to examine which genes may be involved in improved survival to the disease in the St. Malo population.

ddRAD genotyping was used to evaluate population connectivity and putative loci under selection in honeycomb worm from 13 sites spanning its distribution in the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.

Whole genome pooled sequencing of individuals from 4 populations and 3 different color phenotype in order to uncover the genetic variants linked to color expression in the pearl oyster P. margaritifera.

This dataset presents the resulting assessment grid (based on the EEA reference grid) with the classification of chemical status of the transitional, coastal and marine waters in the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This classification has been performed using the CHASE+ tool, with classifications of the matrices ‘water’, ‘sediment’ and ‘biota’ and indicators of ‘biological effects’, as well as an integrated classification of chemical status, combining results of all matrices. The chemical status is evaluated in five classes, where NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ and PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’. The overall area of interest used is based on the marine regions and subregions under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Additionally, Norwegian (Barent Sea and Norwegian Sea) and Icelandic waters (’Iceland Sea’) have been added (see Surrounding seas of Europe). Note that within the North East Atlantic region only the subregions within EEZ boundaries (~200 nm) have been included. This dataset underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the report "Contaminants in Europe's Seas" (EEA, 2019): https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/contaminants-in-europes-seas.

Individuals from 5 populations were kept in common garden conditions in order to examine acclimation and adaptation to temperature in the honeycomb worm. Worms were exposed to 5 temperature treatments, and collected for RNAseq analysis. Gene expression patterns were then examined.
