After exhibiting all project deliverables, partners have followed one another to present their results on the materials used and on the environmental monitoring realized. It was also an opportunity for participants to know the details of the immersion of artificial reefs in the Seine Bay. Two round tables on the topics "What materials for artificial reefs" and "Role of artificial reefs in the Channel area" were carried out around the choice of materials depending on the type of application and benefits of artificial reefs. By late afternoon, a tour of the LUSAC laboratories was organized for those interested. Download the presentation of
