En avril 2017, une équipe internationale de scientifiques part étudier les écosystèmes inconnus d'un mont sous-marin reculé du sud-ouest de l'océan Indien à bord du MARION-DUFRESNE, navire océanographique français opéré par l'Institut polaire français IPEV. Le Banc WALTERS, une montagne submergée située au-delà des juridictions nationales, est étudié par les scientifiques du Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle et de l'IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) pendant l'expédition de 26 jours. 'La Dernière Frontière' est un documentaire produit par l'UICN en partenariat avec et grâce au soutien financier du Fonds Français pour l'Environnement Mondial (FFEM) qui relate cette expédition et ses enjeux. Il appelle à plus de science pour la haute mer, et une meilleure gouvernance des eaux internationales. Ecrit par James NIKITINE, il est réalisé par James NIKITINE et Fabiano D'AMATO, avec une narration d'Alain GHAZAL et une musique de Woodkid. La haute mer constitue #LaDernièreFrontière à nos connaissances. Pour plus d'informations rendez-vous sur le site: https://www.iucn.org/science4highseas

Sur les 135 projets déposés dans le cadre de l'appel à manifestation d'intérêt "Equipements structurants pour la recherche" (EquipEx+), l'IFREMER en avait 3 en course. Et bonne nouvelle : tous figurent sur la liste des 50 infrastructures de pointe que le Premier ministre s'est engagé, le 18 décembre, à financer.

The genus Scomberomorus, with 18 nominal species, sustains a significant heterogeneous fishery throughout its range. The sole molecular systematic study of this genus concerned the species group S. regalis, which contains the new world taxa. The species diversity of Scomberomorus in the northern Indian Ocean has not been studied at the molecular level, often leading to misidentifications...

New ocean model simulations could refine the search area.

Refreshed and salty from its travels along the Ningaloo Reef, our favourite underwater robot Starbug X has been shining a light on some of the secrets beneath the world-heritage waters.

The world's first sex-based study with insights into the abundance and movement patterns of bottlenose dolphins acts as an impetus for future studies.

Preliminary findings of a comprehensive scientific survey examining the impact of the climate change-related 2016 mass bleaching in the Maldives indicate that all reefs surveyed were affected by the event. Approximately 60% of all coral colonies assessed - and up to 90% in some sites - were bleached.

Chemists from the Institute of Research in Biomedicine (IRB) and from the R+D department of PharmaMar have devised a new synthesis method with pipecolidepsin A, a compound that is active against eleven types of cancers and property of PharmaMar. This advance opens the door to copying and improving 38 natural molecules derived from marine sponges that are very promising for the treatment of various diseases.
