Levels of metal concentration (lead, cadmium, mercury), organochlorine (PCB153 and HCHg Lindane), PAHs (Fluoranthene) in surficial sediments (1 cm) of the sub-region Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast.

The data is provided as a layer of points representing the samples taken (operations) in the French Mediterranean. The lists of species identified corresponding to these sample points are in the Biocean database.

Species distribution is provided as a layer of points representing in situ observations of organisms during submersible dives into the canyons of the Mediterranean mainland.

Polygons defined for the distribution of the sampling points of the EVHOE (Evaluation of Fish Stocks in Western Europe) campaigns in the Bay of Biscay and the Celtic Sea.

Levels of metal concentration (lead, cadmium, mercury), organochlorine (PCB153 and HCHg Lindane), PAHs (Fluoranthene) in surficial sediments (1st cm) of the sub-region English Channel and the North Sea.

Concentrations of metals, organochlorines in mussels and oysters from the Mediterranean coast, from RNO RINBIO data.

Map of the maximum extent of the seagrass Zostera noltti of Arcachon acquired in 2007-2008, under the supervisory control of the WFD (EU Water Framework Directive). Funded by the AEAG (Agence de l'Eau Adour Garonne) and Ifremer.

The consolidated database shows the spatial distribution of sampling effort by French and Monaco oceanographic campaigns. The measures are divided between the mouth of the Rhone, the Gulf of Lions, and Ligurian and Provence seas. The database contains 55 campaigns or time series, over 5 decades from 1962 to 2010. 28 are oceanographic campaigns of spatial strategy (some were revisited), 14 of temporal strategy, 2 of spatio-temporal strategy, and 1 one-time campaign. In total, it has 24,886 entries including: 19,027 nitrate data - 13,826 nitrite data - 11,452 ammonium data – 20,936 phosphates data – 14,605 silicates data. The majority (92%) of associated temperature and salinity data is available.
