Objective | The Stellamare 2012 cruise had three main objectives: 1) Acquisition of hydrology and currentology data in order to validate a numerical model of circulation of water bodies in the Bonifacio straits; 2) Collecting data on plankton larvae to understand the interactions between larvae/circulation and understand the larval recruitment process in the area of the international marine park of the Bonifacio straits; 3) Collection on data on marine litter or macrowaste in order to study predicting the transport of waste at sea. The cruise was conducted in the framework of the following programmes: (i) MOMAR (Cross-border Interreg, 2010-2012, environment in sensitive areas for shipping in Corsica, Sardinia and Tuscany), (ii) CPER/ Stella mare (DRRT, Corsica, modelling studies) and (iii) the DCSMM/MDDTL project (IFREMER/MEDDTL agreement, marine strategy framework directive for indicator 10.1.3, microplastics). |
