After eight years of work to improve the conservation of marine habitats – including coastal lagoons – European Life Marha project (2018-2025), led by the French Office for Biodiversity with 13 scientific and management partners, has come to an end. <\/strong>As part of this project, the P\u00f4le-relais lagunes m\u00e9diterran\u00e9ennes, supported by the Tour du Valat, assisted all stakeholders involved in the management of Natura 2000 sites in assessing the conservation status of Priority Habitat 1150* \u2018Coastal lagoons\u2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The main results were presented at the closing conference<\/a> on the 1st of April 2025 in Marseille.<\/p>\n

Understanding in order to act<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mediterranean lagoons are a highly diverse habitat: some are permanent, others temporary, salty or slightly salty. This complexity makes them difficult to monitor. The P\u00f4le-relais lagunes m\u00e9diterran\u00e9ennes, coordinated by the Tour du Valat in partnership with the Conservatoire d’espaces naturels d’Occitanie and the Office de l’Environnement de la Corse, has supported Natura 2000 managers in assessing these environments using a national method based on 12 indicators.<\/p>\n
