GdR PHYCOTOX met in Plouzané on 15 and 16 May 2019 at IUEM, for its national conference on toxic microalgae. This meeting was an opportunity for the members of the GdR to present their research work, either through an oral presentation or a poster and to exchange ideas during workshops.
The detailed programme and abstracts of the papers are available by clicking here.
IFRECOR (Initiative FRançaise pour les RÉcifs CORalliens) promotes documentation on coral reefs and associated ecosystems in French overseas territories.
Like the first two issues, this new Marine Leaflet (n°3) aims to communicate and promote the ongoing actions on seagrass beds in different overseas territories and promote the networking of stakeholders. Several contributors have contributed richly to this third issue, which reports on activities at international, national, regional and overseas levels.The articles presented summarize part of the news from French tropical seagrass beds, concerning the implementation of research work on habitat functionality and the development of tools, studies on the invasion of Halophila stipulacea in the West Indies and interactions with green turtles, the application of the Water Framework Directive in the overseas departments and the creation of a regional network to monitor seagrass beds in the Indian Ocean.

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).

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.
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.

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