LMI DISCOH
The main objective of LMI DISCOH is to study ocean-atmosphere, biogeochemical and ecological dynamics in the CHS in order to understand and anticipate the effect of intra-seasonal, interannual, decadal and climate change variability on coastal ecosystem dynamics. LMI contributes to the effective implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries.
From a scientific point of view, the LMI “DISCOH” complements projects under development (ANRs PEPS and TOPINEME, etc.) and aims to improve coordination between projects. In particular, LMI aims to direct the efforts of its participants towards major cross-cutting scientific issues.
In addition, LMI “DISCOH” supports the development of high-level Masters in Marine Sciences in Peru by promoting the participation of IRD researchers and other foreign scientists (courses and supervision of theses) and by supporting student and faculty exchanges, particularly in the region.

GDR LIGA
The LiGA Research Group (Littoral of Guiana under Amazonian influence) is a French scientific network that brings together a hundred researchers from 28 research units around the study of the coastline in French Guiana. Its role is to promote scientific consultation and interdisciplinarity to build a transversal vision of this research.

GDR Phycotox
Since the 1980s, French coastal areas (metropolitan and overseas) are frequently affected by toxic or harmful algae. These microalgae can cause direct harm to the ecosystem (mortality of marine fauna) or indirectly to humans through their accumulation in bivalve molluscs, fish or other seafood.

GDRi Rechaglo
Contact: Guy Claireaux and José-Luis Zambonino
The Rechaglo project focuses on the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture in the face of global change and overexploitation. The program is structured around five axes:
Assessment of environmental changes as a result of climate change and scenarios
Responses of marine organisms to global change,
Effects of global changes on the dynamics of fish and aquaculture populations,
Effect of global change on species distribution, accessibility and connectivity of their habitats and interactions with the spatialization of the farm,
Effects of global change on communities and food webs.
Responses to global change in fish and fish populations and communities and their habitats
