On Tuesday, October 8, the Récifs-Goëlo association in Plouézec will be holding a day of discussion and information on the theme of “Artificial reefs and biodiversity.” “We will receive specialists, who will talk to us about their studies on artificial reefs, who are all experts in this specialty, and who come from all over France,” announces Michel Rickauer, the president of the association.
Sylvain Pioch will provide the opening speech, before the setting up of round tables in a special format, punctuated by short speeches of twelve minutes per participant followed by discussions. Each of them will be able to present the fruit of the work carried out on their site.

The first round table will bring together Sandrine Ruitton, lecturer at the University of Marseille, who participated in the artificial reef project on the Prado site in Marseille. Sylvain Blouet, who has a doctorate in marine ecology, will talk about the artificial reefs of Cap d’Agde and Cédric Hennache about those of Oléron. A scientific diver, Quentin Fontaine, will come from the Gulf of Ajaccio and Jean-Claude Dauvin from the sites of the Cherbourg harbor.
The second round table will be around Apolline Lebourg for oyster farming with her work on oyster reefs in Northern Brittany, wind power with Paul Resseguier on the reef effect of the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm and Martin Perrot on innovation in artificial reefs, materials and shapes. “The third round table will be led by Yves Henocque, who is the one who selects the projects supported by the Fondation de France.
