By participating in this project, you contribute to research and its diffusion through studies and scientific articles.

Learn about the composition and organization of different coastal and marine ecosystems. This will lead us to coral reefs, which you will explore from various approaches to establish and continue ongoing research. You will do the same for coastal ecosystems.

Use and handle new equipment and analytical systems.

Familiarize yourself with the different organisms that make up these ecosystems, as well as the monitoring methods, to gain concrete knowledge and skills for your future studies or professional life.
