Annual Monitoring of the Distribution and Abundance of Cetaceans and Marine Birds in the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel within the context of Fisheries Campaigns

The aim of these measures is to monitor the relative distribution and abundance of cetaceans and marine birds from Ifremer/IEO fisheries campaigns on board the Thalassa oceanographic vessel. These measures are also used to determine these predators’ favourite habitats thanks to the ecosystem approach of the campaigns (distribution and abundance of pelagic fish, plankton and physical parameters).
