World list of seaports. In its 2021 version, the repository includes 13709 ports for 187 countries. The list of seaports has been drawn up on the basis of the information available in the European reference system of places used in the framework of the Common Fisheries Policy and, more particularly, by the Electronic Recording and Reporting System (ERS), the list of ports identified by the UNECE (2021-1). An assessment of the infrastructures present along the coastline made it possible to identify other ports that were not listed. Each geographical position has been verified with Google Earth in WGS84. Each port is associated with information relating to the country (ISO 3 coding), the UNECE or ERS 5-character coding, the name, the geographical position in WGS84 (latitude and longitude), the status of the port indicating whether it is referenced by Unece (UNECE), by the EU/ERS (ERS) or by both (UNECE/ERS) In case the port is not referenced by UNECE or ERS, the status is N/A. For French ports, the reference system integrates the ports of the French overseas departments and territories with the national codification. Inland ports have also been integrated in 2021.

The NourDem project aims to carry out annual trawling cruises in the three estuaries of the Seine, the Loire and the Gironde.

Like all EU Member States, France is obliged to collect and manage the data necessary to conduct the Common Fisheries Policy to assess the abundance and distribution of stocks. A "national multi-annual basic data collection programme" has therefore been set up in which scientific campaigns such as IBTS are integrated. This campaign is carried out in coordination with most of the countries bordering the North Sea, in the framework of the European Fisheries Data Collection Programme (DC-MAP). The research carried out over the last few decades has led to a shift away from fisheries issues stricto sensu (monospecific and geographically limited studies) towards a more integrated vision of the various components of marine ecosystems. This openness results from a desire to better understand the dynamics of exploited marine resources in order to improve diagnoses and management recommendations. The acquisition of data from these compartments at different stations makes it possible to establish a map of biotic and abiotic environmental parameters in the Channel and North Sea during the winter period, a period that is usually little studied, but which is crucial.

The scientific species repository of the Fisheries Information System lists the species observed during fishing campaigns or within the framework of the observations of collection programmes (ObsVentes, ObsMer, Campaigns, etc.).

SACROIS is a data crossing algorithm that produces professional fishing activity data series (validated, consolidated and qualified production and effort data) for the vessels registered in the Community Fishing Fleet (CFP) file. SACROIS selects the best of the available information sources to produce the reference fishing activity data. SACROIS consists of an operational application for reconciliation, verification and consistency checks of different unitary data streams. The SACROIS algorithm does not correct the data, its objective is to : - provide the best possible estimate of the various elements making up a tide from the available data sources - to identify the incompleteness of the various data sources and to propose a synthesis completed by indicators of data qualification resulting from the crossings. Twice a month, the SACROIS algorithm produces a new data source, a synthesis of all the available data sources: the reconstructed SACROIS tides. The SACROIS data have been calculated since 2000 for all fleets for which data are available: - North Sea - Channel - Atlantic (excluding tropical seiners), - Mediterranean (excluding bluefin seiners), - DOM (Reunion, Mayotte, French Guiana and the West Indies).

Ces secteurs statistiques se situent dans la zone économique exclusive des îles subantarctiques des Terres Australes et Antarctiques Françaises (TAAF) de l’archipel de Crozet et des Kerguelen. Chaque rectangle fait 0,5°x1° et a comme parent premier un quadrilatère FAO 1°x1°. Ils ont été définis dans l’arrêté 2009-41 du Journal officiel des TAAF n°43.

The COMOR cruises, which took place on the Thalia, aim to assess the abundance of the scallop stock (and if necessary to determine the presence of toxic algae) in the Seine Bay.

The national multidisciplinary RECOPESCA programme is a collaboration between volunteer fishermen and scientists for the automated collection of geolocated physical and fisheries environmental data from the coastal domain. The principle consists of installing sensors on gear to measure environmental parameters, from the surface to the bottom, and to record detailed data on fishing activity and effort. The data acquired feeds the operational coastal oceanography database (coastal component of Coriolis) and the fisheries database of the SIH (Harmonie). The programme thus responds to research issues (physical and fisheries), the implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries, support for public policies (DCSMM, DCF, CMEMS) and Ifremer's innovation in the coastal field.

A metier in the Fisheries Information System is a fishing practice defined by a fishing gear and a target species. They are used for statistical purposes to evaluate fishing strategies and efforts.

The Bargip project : acquisition of scientific data and knowledge to produce advices on integrated management of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in North-East Atlantic.
