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 observational, experimental, analytical, and modeling tools, the unit specifically addresses the following objectives:
- describe marine biodiversity, understand its dynamics and how marine ecosystems function;
- analyze the impact of human pressures on these ecosystems and develop response scenarios to global change;
- to balance resource use (particularly fishing and aquaculture) with conservation and to meet societal expectations (expertise, innovation, remediation).
