Missions

Finalized research in the prospect of answering to social expectations (climate change effects, marine biodiversity, pollutions prevention, seafood quality…). The results are scientific knowledge and technological innovations, but also ocean observation and exploration systems. The partnership is public, private or both.

Oceans seas and coastal waters’ monitoring, in support with public policy for the environment and its resources. In the form of notices or studies reports, the results provide the information about the environment state or the evaluation of a resource and permit the expertise on sea-related questions.

Development, management and open access of large research infrastructures – fleet, calculation means, data centres, experimental facilities – which are made available to the whole National and European scientific community, as well as to private partners.
