1 PÔLE MER MÉDITERRANÉE THE STRUCTURATION OF AN EMERGING SECTOR MARINE ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING A sustainable solution for coastal cities and areas SEPTEMBER 23 RD 2014 GENOA This document has been achieved with the financial support of the European Union in the framework of the ENPI CBC Mediterranean Basin Program

2 Pôle Mer Méditerranée Two areas : Sea Innovation & Business Cluster Our ambition To contribute to the sustainable development of the maritime and coastal economy Our job To encourage the innovation between our members associating companies and research laboratories. Promote the results at international level

3 Pôle Mer Méditerranée 6 Strategic Action s Themes Maritime security and safety Naval & yachting Energy marine ressources & offshore mining Surveillance and Maritime Intervention Ships of the future Deepsea Offshore Renewable marine energies Sustainable fishing Biological marine ressources Sustainable aquaculture Blue biotechnologies Environment and Coastal management Ports, maritime infrastructures and transports Sea and coastal environment services providers Sustainable coastal development and ecological engineering Ports of the future

4 Mediterranean costal area Attractive zone - A lot of activities - High density of population (x 5 french average) - Tourism amplification Consequences - Coastline artificialization - Population risks - Climate change - Biodiversity loss Mediterranean Sea : Biodiversity hot spot

5 International Policy Barcelona Convention - Mediterranean marine & coastal environment Protection European Marine Strategy Framework Directive - Good Environment Status of European marine waters in 2020 Consequences - Emergence of new activities & services : coastal ecological engineering

6 Coastal ecological engineering Broad sense - Sustainable coastal devlopment & rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems - Combination of engineering science & environment science

7 Why Ecological restoration

8 Partners Actions Call for projects - A focus on projects on «in situ» demonstrations or pilot operations - Acceptable and economically feasible solution in compliance with regulations - Ability to be appropriate by a manager of coastal and marine areas. Severals innovative projects - Research to understand the Ecosystem fonctionalities - Test restoration methods on characteristic sites : Various locations

9 Knowledge on fish larvae Interests& Objectives The SUBLIMO Project s specific goal is to analyse the biodiversity at the post-larval stage and to use post-larvae for restocking. First results - Description of more than 60 species - Creation of post-larval database Expected impacts & benefits - Knowledge on post-larval critical phase - New indicator of good ecological status (MSFD)

10 Knowledge on nurseries Interests& Objectives The study, understanding and characterize the fish Nurseries in of the shallow waters on differents coastal sites (lagoon, ) R&D works -Inventory of diversity& abundanceof post-larve by different capture techniques - Breeding of selected post-larve - Characterize the associated settlement of juvenile fish Expected impacts & benefits - Support for local fisheries - Typology & diagnosis of the state on natural nurseries

11 Restoration methodology Interests & Objectives The elaboration of guidelines on ecological restoration in coastal shallow waters. - Interdisciplinary work meetings - International workshop with experts

12 Commercial Harbor Infrastructure management for the Ecological Restoration of the CoastalArea Marseille Grand Maritime Port M Largest& first pioneering restoration project Tests & Monitoring are on goingfor 3 years

13 Commercial Harbor Interests& Objectives The development of man-made structure solutions to enhance the nursery function of the Marseille Port. R&D works Based on biomimicry concept : -A giantdiadem urchin linear meters of eco-reef Expected impacts & benefits - Increase survival of early stages of life - Eco-friendly infrastructures

14 Commercial Harbor Interests& Objectives The development of methods for transplanting algae Cystoseira species. Expected impacts & benefits - Enhancing ecological value of coastal infrastructure - Restore connectivity & ecological continuity

15 Marinas Interests& Objectives - Reintroducing the essential nursery function -improve the survival rate of young fish settled on the coast R&D works - 6 Mediterranean Marinas Biohut structures (dock / pontoons) Expected impacts & benefits - Easily replicable on any built shoreline infrastructure - Monaco, Marseillan & other cities deployed Biohut

16 Wastewater treatment plants Interests & Objectives - Coastal marine sites degraded by the impact of raw sewage discharges s : commissioning of water treatment plant using advanced methods - Since : slow environmental improvement & natural regeneration - To improve the biodiversity devlopment with reef habitats

17 Mooring areas Interests& Objectives - Yachting and mechanical impact of anchors : major stressor of biodiversity - To restore the degraded phanerogams meadows with seeds R&D works -Validation of the process by a pilot in the sea -4 species of marine phanerogams present in Med Expected impacts & benefits - Protocol document for each restoring step - Phanerogam seed bank, collected in Mediterranean sea

18 Thank you for your attention Julie PERSON & Manon PEDRONI
