Summary of measurements

-21 dives on 8 long-term monitoring sites (see map); Recovery of loggers (temperature), re-installation, colonization plates, CTD + O2 + pH + turbidity profiles.
-Beam trawling at Channer islet (50 and 100m).
-ROV in Baie de l'Oiseau and Port Couvreux (50 and 100m).
-Shots taken (still photos and videos) at each site (see map).
-Sponges collected for research on active substances of therapeutic or industrial interest.
-Specimens collected to complement barcode identification.
-Specimens collected for conventional taxonomy.
-Specimens collected for food web level assessments (stable isotopy).
