Marine Biodiversity, Use, and Conservation (MARBEC)
The overall objective of the UMR is to study the marine biodiversity of lagoon, coastal, and offshore ecosystems at various levels of integration (molecular, individual, population, and community), as well as human uses of this biodiversity.
Using a variety of tools for observation, experimentation, analysis, and modeling, the unit specifically addresses the following objectives:
- describe marine biodiversity, understand its dynamics and the functioning of marine ecosystems;
- analyze the impact of human pressures on these ecosystems and develop scenarios for responding to global change;
- to balance resource use (particularly fishing and aquaculture) with conservation and to meet societal expectations (expertise, innovation, remediation).
