Physiographic domains map at 1 : 500 000 of the French metropolitan EEZ produced in the work-package 4 (sea-floor geology / geomorphology) of the European project EMODnet Geology. This version of the dataset corresponds to the phase IV of the project.

The definitive coastal information system, Quadrige stores coastal observation and monitoring network data. In order to manage coastal monitoring data, Ifremer developed the Quadrige² information system. Quadrige is one element of the Water Information System (SIE) http:// www.eaufrance.fr, et à ce titre, contribue aux travaux du Secrétariat d'Administration National des Données Relatives à l'Eau (SANDRE) http://www.sandre.eaufrance.fr. Quadrige Marine Zones is a reference source unique to the Quadrige system. It is used to break down the coast of the French mainland and overseas territories into large areas and to connect each one with observation and monitoring locations.

The “World Seabed Sediment Map” product contains geo-referenced digital data, describing the nature of the sediment encountered in different seas and oceans of the world. The objects are all surface areas and the description of an object includes in particular the nature of the sediment including rock-type bottoms.

The effect of Maerl extraction on Benthic Communities in the Glénan Archipelago.

The aim of this project is to implement a sampling network in order to study climate variability in ocean water around the Iberian peninsula and the Bay of Biscay, to determine the flows of heat, freshwater, nutrients and C02 in wastewater, and relationship with NAO. This contributed to international climate change programmes and to the beginning of systematic study of the region. Furthermore, it facilitates the use of a digital model in the region. The main aim of the VACLAN project is to improve observation capacity and the use of the new tools available used to characterize climate change: remote sensing for the study of surface waters, drifting buoys for upper and mid waters, and moored instruments and hydrographic stations for studying the water column. The use of these tools along with digital modelling will make it possible to characterize CO2 flow and the physio-chemical flow in such a large area, where the border current is the Atlantic. Furthermore, once checked and validated, the data in this system will be made available for academic scientific communities and included in digital forecasting models.

Sea bed sediment maps for the 4 marine sub-regions prepared as part of the initial evaluation of the MSFD (Marine Strategy Framework Directive).

This is not a particular project or programme, but a reminder of the existence of acoustic observatories ("polygons") within the Ministry of Defence which are capable of fulfilling MSFD monitoring needs. For military needs, the Ministry of Defence uses its permanent equipped sites for its activities and experiments. Measurements of interest to MSFD (monitoring impulse broadcast and acquisition of long time series of traffic noise) could be conducted, at least in part, on these sites. These measurements, when made available, could be compiled and used for monitoring environmental status.
