IUEM’s “Go South !” day

The In the South 2018 day confirmed the interest of a wider sharing of information on existing partnerships, and made it possible to identify the presence of synergies and the existence of expertise, at IUEM, in the establishment of multidisciplinary centres in marine sciences in the South.

This “South” Africa day will be divided into two parts:

1) a time for disseminating/collecting information on current PAA news on current and submitted African countries,
2) a time to co-construct the prospects for the year 2020, in particular around the question of capacity building in training and research in Africa, in conjunction with the IRD, on which we can set up/expand our working groups.

Ongoing dynamics:
– recent submission of a project to the MEAE concerning training in Marine Sciences in South Africa and Senegal,
– end 2019: completion of the ScolaMar capacity-building,
– opportunities related to the submission of European projects (intra-African mobility PAAs, capacity-building, RISE) and future MEAE PAAs, involving African partners,
– …

As part of the “Au Sud” axis, IUEM is organising the second edition of the “Au Sud” day, this time focused on Africa, on 29 May from 9am to 12pm (Amphi D).

Ifremer was 35 years old in June 2019!

It's Sea Time

Ifremer was founded on June 5, 1984, following the merger of Cnexo and ISTPM.

You will find the history of our supervision on this page:

On this occasion 35 short videos were made. On the menu of the latest videos posted online: the search for the culprits of oyster mortality, the enigma of sardines that no longer grow, or a visit to the inhabited submarine Nautile. Take a few minutes to immerse yourself in it, at tea time or coffee break!

Find the “It’s Sea Time” homepage on the Institute’s website, and go to the Ifremer’s YouTube channel to see the episodes of the series !

The web series “It’s sea time” is complete: all 35 videos produced for Ifremer’s 35th anniversary have been put online. In two to three minutes, discover the research topics of Ifremer’s laboratories.

Ika Paul-Pont, CNRS Bronze medal 2019

With her colleagues from the PANORAMA team, and especially Arnaud HUVET, Ifremer researcher at LEMAR, their work on micro and nano-plastics is among the most cited in our laboratory.

Visit her page on Google Scholar.

See here her personnal page on our site to access her current projects, and click here to read her interview ‘in French) in IUEM’s letter of April 2019.

In 2018 her work was the subject of an article in Sciences-Ouest (in French also), in a special report on microplastics :

Motion adopted by LEMAR staff

Les personnels CNRS/Ifremer/IRD/UBO du Laboratoire des sciences de l’environnement marin (LEMAR) soutiennent les initiatives qui se mettent en place au niveau mondial comme en France pour faire face à l’urgence planétaire (climat, biodiversité, environnement).

Nous demandons aux dirigeants politiques de tous bords d’unir leurs efforts pour mettre en œuvre des actions visant à abandonner la primauté des intérêts à court terme qui prévalent dans nos sociétés thermo-industrielles et qui conduisent à l’épuisement de nos ressources naturelles.

En particulier :

  • Nous soutenons les initiatives de la jeunesse mondiale pour faire de la journée du 15 mars 2019 une mobilisation d’envergure.
  • Nous appelons à participer à la marche mondiale pour le climat le 16 mars 2019.
  • Nous souscrivons aux différents appels des scientifiques (Appel de 300 chercheurs européens dans le quotidien Le Soir, Scientists warning de l’Alliance of World Scientists, tribune de 700 scientifiques français dans Libération, rapport du GIEC, etc.)* exigeant de la part des dirigeants politiques des actions concrètes et immédiates pour la protection de l’environnement.
  • Nous nous engageons à agir au quotidien pour réduire l’impact climatique et environnemental lié à nos activités de recherche.
  • Nous demandons instamment à nos institutions de tutelle (CNRS, Ifremer, IRD et UBO) de favoriser et d’accompagner nos démarches écoresponsables, et de s’engager publiquement et officiellement à prendre des mesures concrètes à la hauteur de l’urgence planétaire.

Faisons de 2019 l’année de la transition écologique !

Plouzané, le 12 mars 2019

*Appel de 300 chercheurs belges, français et suisses le 20 février 2019 : https://plus.lesoir.be/207972/article/2019-02-20/

Global emergency: climate, biodiversity, environment

Paddle Brazil workshop | Report

This workshop has been organized by the PADDLE project with the help and support of:

–              “A estratégia brasileira de gestao sustentavel dos recursos marinhos vivos et nao vivos” (UnB, UFC e UPM – CAPES)

–              Laboratoire Mixte International Tapioca (IRD, UFPE, UFRPE)

–              Bacharelado em Oceanografia da UFPE – 10 anos

–              Wageningen University

–              Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa

 

 

This scientific workshop on a comparative approach to marine spatial planning (MSP) between the European Union and Brazil was held in Recife (UFPE). It brought together 65 participants (30 European and 35 Brazilian). The interest of this workshop for local partners was highlighted by the participation of many administrations (Federal Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of the Environment of Pernambuco, Interministerial Commission for Marine Resources); several Brazilian universities were also represented (Univ Brasilia, UPM-Sao Paulo, UFPE, UFRPE, Univ. Cearra).

 

The general introduction provided the conceptual framework for the workshop, which examined the different perspectives in terms of governance at sea. From fishing areas to surfing reserves, marine protected areas and legislation governing oil exploitation, a series of presentations provided an overview of the existing areas in Brazil… A first step towards the beginnings of the WSP in Brazil was presented the next day. But beforehand, a detour to Europe was allowed by the European partners of the project, who presented the MSP in Portugal, France and the North Sea, within the framework of the European Union’s integrated maritime policy. This workshop was closed by presenting the interconnections that exist across the tropical Atlantic, between Cape Verde, Senegal and Brazil.

 

21 of the participants then participated in a writing workshop at CEPENE (UFPE).
