Our story begins with the discovery of a tiny fish – the Andromeda Goby – in the Marine Reserve of Banyuls-sur-mer at the end of the last century\u2026 It was for very young biologists that we were a first scientific discovery, a first new image, but also a name and a concept. “In all science, illustrate and share through underwater images; and each image should show a scientific interest and have meaning\u201d. Twenty years later, the team has grown and is more structured, but the pioneering spirit remains. Preserving the marine environment that was our primary passion has become a global emergency. More than ever, it requires in-depth knowledge of ecosystems and the development of concrete solutions. The skills and experience of Androm\u00e8de Oc\u00e9anologie are at the service of this major project and are structured around three axes:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Gombessa underwater explorations, led by Laurent Ballesta, aim to discover the marine world and to unite a large audience around a triple challenge: solving a scientific mystery – carrying out extreme dives – collecting new and unique images. Films from the Gombessa expeditions are broadcasted in prime time on ARTE channel and are then sold internationally.<\/p>\n
The film “Gombessa 4: 700 sharks into the night” won 14 international awards and was runner-up at the 2019 Emmy Awards. In July 2019 alone, 170 press articles were published on the fifth Gombessa mission “Gombessa 5: Mediterranean Planet \u201dwith 50.7 million people potentially affected (source Kantar Media).<\/p>\n
Our Research and Development <\/b>branch works in close collaboration with universities, mainly on bio-indicators of the quality of water and coastal ecosystems. The company has been approved for Research Tax Credit since 2014 and has created a joint laboratory with the University of Montpellier (Labcom “Intosea”) recognized by the National Research Agency in 2017.<\/p>\n
Androm\u00e8de is currently in charge of setting up implementing networks for monitoring the quality of coastal waters and ecosystems by the Water Agency for the Mediterranean. The results of these monitoring are available on the MEDTRIX cartographic platform. This monitoring network allows France to meet its European obligations in terms of implementing the Water and Marine Environment Directives (DCE, DCSMM).<\/p>\n
From impact studies to the implementation of ecological restoration measures, Androm\u00e8de Oc\u00e9anologie supports maritime projects with strong environmental ambitions to integrate each coastal or offshore project into its natural environment<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The Androm\u00e8de Oc\u00e9anologie team intervenes upstream of projects, in order to better understand the ecosystems and species present and avoid foreseeable impacts. In the works or operation phase, Androm\u00e8de offers the implementation of impact reduction measures and assists the Contracting Authority in calibrating and implementing any compensatory measures. Finally, Androm\u00e8de Oc\u00e9anologie allows the dissemination of knowledge essential for raising public awareness and involving the project stakeholders.<\/p>\n
Androm\u00e8de Oc\u00e9anologie has been supporting the Monaco sea extension project since the preliminary studies and has carried out the largest Posidonia transplant operation<\/a> carried out for Bouygues TP Monaco to date as part of this project.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
