Benefiting from a privileged environment that brings together more than half of the national potential in this field, its teams are present on all major research issues and work on all oceans. All disciplines studying the marine environment and the activities that take place there are represented: physics, chemistry, biology, genetics ecology, biogeochemistry, geophysics, geology, geography, law, economics, etc.
