This programme aims to produce an inventory of the spatial distribution of these species in metropolitan waters, to estimate their abundance and to identify the preferred habitats of cetaceans and seabirds (and more broadly of the pelagic megafauna) according to the seasons. Scientists were also able to collect information on human activities at sea (fishing, maritime traffic, waste) in order to provide elements for assessing areas of interaction with human activities.
