Côtes de la Manche

Coastal oceanographic vessel, 24.7m long, conducting scientific research assignments mainly in the Channel and the Atlantic, at up to 200 nautical miles from port. Its instrumentation covers marine geoscience, physical and biological oceanography, bio-geochemistry and marine chemistry. It conducts long-term observation assignments of the marine environment as well as research and experimentation in various areas of marine technology. The vessel is also available for teaching assignments at university undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
