Objective

Bringing together France, Italy and the Principality of Monaco since 1976, the RAMOGE agreement is born of an awareness of the pollution of the sea. Its aim is to raise public awareness, develop actions and make recommendations for the preservation of the marine environment. In 2015, an exploration campaign of the deep zones of the RAMOGE area made it possible to acquire new data in the Natura 2000 sites of "Corniche Varoise" and "l'Estérel", as well as on other Italian and Monegasque sectors.

The RAMOGE project "exploration of deep zones of ecological interest" is based on 3 phases. Each country is invited to become involved in the implementation of one of these phases. After Italy in 2015, which facilitated the provision of nautical resources for oceanographic exploration of the ecological zones of deep interest in the RAMOGE area, it will be France in 2018, then Monaco in 2020 to animate the project. Since the beginning of this initiative the issues considered are deep habitats and species. In 2015, exploration had made it possible to intervene up to 450 meters deep and to see the strong presence of macro-waste.

For the 2018 campaign, the stakes remain centered on deep habitats and species, with the possibility of exploration between 2000 and 3000 meters of depth. Observation of macro-waste accumulation zones has been added as an objective. Seven dives were realized with Victor 6000 ROV in the RAMOGE area as well as 6 bathymetric maps.
