11. ECORIENT Example of environmental and coastal management & ecological engineering

12. ECORIENT Environmental context • High anthropogenic pressure, sensitive and dynamic territory • High population growth • Hot spot of biodiversity • vulnerable coastlines • A dynamic region • Most important pleasureboat area in the world • French higher population growth • Port of Marseille: 1st French port • Nice, Marseille and Montpellier: French windows of the Sustainable Coastal City

13. ECORIENT Environmental context The Mediterranean is a "laboratory" area • Target Zones, similarfeatures: • Persian Gulf countries • Crowded coastal regions of Asia • USA • Brazil Sustainable coastal development: • Remediation of coastal construction • Environmental restoration of degraded ecosystems • Adapting to climate change

14. ECORIENT Example Eco-design applied to port infrastructure engineering

15. ECORIENT GIRAC A forecasting and management aid tool of the recreational and bathing water quality • improving bathing water by developing operational tools enabling to know in real-time sanitation discharges and their evolution with regard to meteorological conditions • Coupling environmental monitoring of coastal waters and modeling of coastal sewerage systems

16. ECORIENT OPTIMA PAC Optimizing energy performance and impact control on the marine environment of seawater CAP Monaco city

17. ECORIENT GIREL • “Management Infrastructure for CoastalRehabilitationEcological ” • Objective: Improve ecological functions, such as fisheries functions • (larvae, juveniles, …), habitats,… • By natural or artificial habitats, eco-concept of wharf, dikes, connectivity between areas Marseille Harbor

18. ECORIENT Our companies EXPERTS PRESENTATION Port and Coastal Environment update • Overview of some PMP companies’ technology • Eco-design of maritime infrastructure and artificial reefs • Post larval capture, culture and replenishment • Algae transplantation • Seagrass reestablishment • Integrated management of coastal water quality (sewer discharge and bathing water quality)
