Tidal ranges on the French coasts of the Channel and the Atlantic for a coefficient of 95 : tidal range for mean neap tides for average atmospheric conditions..

Particularly suited to the purpose of measuring the sensitivity of benthic communities to trawling, a trawl disturbance indicator (de Juan and Demestre, 2012, de Juan et al. 2009) was proposed based on benthic species life history traits to evaluate the sensibility of mega- and epifaunal community to fishing pressure known to have a physical impact on the seafloor (such as dredging and bottom trawling). The selected biological traits were chosen as they determine vulnerability to trawling: mobility, fragility, position on substrata, average size and feeding mode that can easily be related to the fragility, recoverability and vulnerability ecological concepts. Life history traits of species have been defined from the BIOTIC database (MARLIN, 2014) and from information given by Le Pape et al. (2007), Brindamour et al. (2009) and Garcia (2010). For missing life history traits, additional information from literature has been considered. The five categories retained are life history functional traits that were selected based on the knowledge of the response of benthic taxa to trawling disturbance (de Juan and Demestre, 2012). They reflect respectively the possibility to avoid direct gear impact, to benefit from trawling for feeding, to escape gear, to get caught by the net and to resist trawling/dredging action, each of these characteristics being either advantageous or sensitive to trawling. Then, to allow quantitative analysis, a score was assigned to each category: from low vulnerability (0) to high vulnerability (3). The five categories scores were then summed for each taxon (the highly vulnerable taxon could reach the maximum score is 15) and this value may be considered as a species index of sensitivity to trawling disturbance. The scores of 812 taxa commonly found in bottom trawl by-catch in the southern North Sea, English Channel and north-western Mediterranean were described.

Geographic information layer including the Transverse limit of the sea - mainland France, French Guiana, Martinique and Guadeloupe. This layer must be considered as an initial version to be validated locally by the competent services. Shom actively seeks out any information which could complete and improve the precision of this layer. The streams and rivers listed correspond to those mentioned in the applicable regulations and/or by a competent Government service. An inventory of existing legal and geographic information was drawn up prior to production in the form of an enquiry targeting services during the second half of 2014. The source legal text and a summary of digital conversion processes is available for each boundary proposed.Updated july 2018

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.

Il n’existe actuellement pas à l’échelle de la Région Nouvelle Aquitaine de données géographiques exhaustives et homogènes sur la localisation des installations photovoltaïques au sol. Dans le cadre de l’observatoire régional NAFU, la construction d’une base de données des installations photovoltaïques au sol a été adopté lors du COPIL du 8 mars 2019. En mobilisant différentes bases de données (autorité environnementale, référentiel régional d’occupation du sol, données de la DFCI, SDIS, DDT-M et de l’ALEC), un référentiel sur les parcs photovoltaïques au sol construit ou en construction pour l’année 2018 a été construit. La notion de parcs photovoltaïques avérés ou implantés est importante. L’inventaire s’est concentré sur ce qui était visible et donc tangible via la photo-interprétation d’images aériennes et satellites en 2018 car nous disposons de la BD Ortho de l’IGN en 2015 et 2018 ainsi que de la mosaïque d’images Bing et Google pour les années 2017 et 2018 sur l’intégralité du territoire de la Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
