Marine biological resources

Maritime safety and security

Enhanced performance of methods of surveillance and safeguarding lives and assets at sea improves safety and security for the whole maritime environment. ...
Shipbuilding and leisure boatbuilding

The shipbuilding industry is investing in research into clean technologies for economic development, improved safety and respect of the environment.
Marine energy and mining resources

Wind, wave and tide : the natural assets of the Freanch coastline offer significant marine energy potential.
Marine biological resources

Fishing and aquaculture provide an opportunity to develop a sound economic activity underpinned by deeper knowledge and understanding of biological resources.
Environmental and coastal planning and development

The littoral is an ecologically rich and fragile space, and one which is highly prized. Its management is complex and requires a balanced and integrated approach to development.
Maritime ports, infrastructure and transport

Maintaining their identity while integrating into the human and geographical environment, port cities are genuine laboratories of sustainable development within densely populated urban regions.

The TSUNAMI project aims to ensure the reliability in tropical zones of floating fish-cage design. This type of cage, trialled in Guadeloupe, uses an immersion system that is manually operated in the event of a storm warning to minimise the impact of passing hurricanes.

This undeniable advance has proven effective during small-scale storms, but the passage of hurricane Maria in September 2017 led to fish farmers losing the stocks from 2 out of every 4 of their cages, as the storm deformed cages and ruptured nets.

The objective of the TSUNAMI project is to assess the behaviour of this type of infrastructure during storm events, using in-situ instrumentation, numerical modelling and tank tests.
