<p>The annual MOOSE-GE campaigns, initiated in 2010, are part of the network long-term observation of the Mediterranean, MOOSE, SOERE Allenvi and SNO labelled network by the INSU. The objective of this observation network is to monitor the long-term evolution of the North-Western Mediterranean in the context of climate change and anthropogenic pressure, in order to be able to detect and identify the trend of environmental anomalies of this marine ecosystem. MOOSE aims to maintain an integrated observation network and multidisciplinary in the Mediterranean Sea in accordance with the objectives of the MISTRALS programmes (HyMeX, MERMeX and ChArMEx).</p> <p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src=" https://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/campagnes/18000442/images/444.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 294px;"></p>
<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">The objective of the campaign PELMED is to estimate the biomasses of small pelagic fish of the Gulf of Lion by acoustic method and to collect a maximum of parameters at each level of the trophic chain. This approach aims towards a more and more ecosystematic campaign(countryside), what is in adequacy with the Directive Centre Strategy for the Marine environment (DCSMM) and the objectives of the UMR MARBEC.</p>
