🇧🇱️ BARTH 2025-2026

This project, funded by the Territorial Environment Agency (ATE) of Saint Barthelemy, aims to monitor coral reefs around the island. To this end, two hydrophones recording the underwater soundscape during two years have been deployed.

When the recording is complete, the data will be analysed to estimate population counts for multiple species of interest, interactions between the different ecosystems, as well as the human impact on wildlife. The final results of this project are expected by 2027.
