Description
This map of the Benthic communities in the Eastern Channel, from the Somme Bay to the Straits of Dover, is reproduced from the map (scale = 1:650000) by Louis Cabioch from the Roscoff Oceanological Observatory and René Glaçon from the Wimereux Marine Station, entitled “Peuplements benthiques des fonds non-exondables (carte provisoire)” in the Eastern Channel, published in 1975.
To realise this survey, 171 dredgings were carried out on board the Pluteus II, a CNRS oceanographic vessel.
The harmonisation with the EUNIS typology is in progress, as part of the REBENT and Interreg-MESH programmes.
