Main activity
This is a station vessel equipped for coastal fishing, 12.59m long. It operates up to 20 nautical miles offshore, mainly in a maritime zone between Dieppe and the Belgian border, but can also cross over to England. It supports various observation, research and teaching activities in biology and marine ecology, bio-geochemistry and bio-optics. It also undertakes currentology work. The vessel assesses the impact of nuclear plants and the chemical industry on marine waters and the sea floor.
