The marine environment, coastal development and oceanography are at the heart of our work throughout the French coastline and around the world!
Our assessments, technical expertise and recommendations are driven by a sustainable development vision. We help adjust projects for the economic development of maritime territories so that they are environmentally responsible at the same time.

expertise
Biodiversity and environmental protectionMarine biodiversity: diagnostic tool and preservation target
Understanding and protecting biodiversity are vital to the sustainable management of marine ecosystems.
Marine Renewable EnergiesFrom the selection of suitable zones to authorisation applications, assessing all marine compartments
MRE project leaders must be able to benefit from all the necessary technical skills from the selection of the area to the monitoring of the works.
Industrial offshore projectsPreserving the environment during the implementation of industrial projects
Environmental management from the outset of a project and monitoring the effects of industry on the marine environment can help reduce or offset impacts, or even prevent them in the first place.
Coastal developmentStrengthening understanding of coastal issues
The development of coastlines must adhere to principles of sustainable development and coastal resilience. This involves considering all the physical processes affecting the coastline for a full understanding of the impacts on the environment and biodiversity.
Climate Change AdaptationOffering suitable solutions
As a response to climate change and its implications in terms of sea level rise and the intensification of extreme events, we carry out investigations that allow us to propose suitable adaptation solutions based on the physical, socio-economic and geopolitical impacts observed.

A global Approach
The challenge today is securing projects, ensuring their acceptance, and controlling their overall cost. Our approach helps to give us a fully comprehensive project vision, which allows us to provide interdisciplinary solutions, integrating technical, economic, and environmental aspects. There are three main concepts behind this approach:
- Gathering the right expertise at the right time
- Participative collaboration with stakeholders
- Responding as closely as possible to clients’ and users’ needs

Our innovations
Innovation has always been at the core of our development strategy.
How do we respond effectively to emerging challenges and expectations? It is through innovation in our methods and tools that we provide our clients with solutions to their issues. We are actively involved in a number of industry networks, such as Pôle Mer Méditerranée and Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique and the Cluster Maritime Français. We also work in partnership with research labs like that of Blanes (Spain), the universities of Milan, Montpellier, Lille and La Rochelle, with IUEM, MNHN, Ifremer, and various marine stations (Banyuls, Roscoff, Concarneau).
