Le bruit en mer lié au développement des activités maritimes constitue une menace pour la protection de la faune marine, notamment des mammifères. Il représente une préoccupation croissante des administrations, françaises et étrangères, et des organisations internationales (Nations unies, Organisation maritime internationale, Union européenne, Sanctuaire Pelagos). La société civile s'est également emparée de la question (ONG oeuvrant pour la protection de l'environnement), de même que les acteurs économiques porteurs de solutions technologiques.Forte de ce constat, l'université de Toulon a souhaité réunir différents représentants de la « communauté » du bruit en mer le temps d'un colloque destiné à susciter des interactions interdisciplinaires entre chercheurs, autorités administratives, membres de la société civile et acteurs économiques en vue de dégager des solutions pour concilier développement des activités maritimes et protection de la faune marine. Cet ouvrage dresse un état de la recherche sur le bruit en mer - sous-marin et en surface - et ses effets sur la faune marine en vue de mesurer les efforts qui restent à déployer pour réduire les émissions acoustiques d'origine anthropique et limiter leurs impacts sur le milieu marin. Cette synthèse a mobilisé une trentaine de spécialistes reconnus pour leur expertise et formant une communauté d'acteurs issus d'horizons divers, mués par le souci de protéger le milieu marin de cette forme de pollution complexe à saisir.Ce livre est destiné aux scientifiques, chercheurs, étudiants et enseignants, ainsi qu'aux techniciens et acteurs, publics, privés et de la société civile, impliqués ou intéressés par la question du bruit en mer.

This new edition of Biological Oceanography has been greatly updated and expanded since its initial publication in 2004. It presents current understanding of ocean ecology emphasizing the character of marine organisms from viruses to fish and worms, together with their significance to their habitats and to each other. The book initially emphasizes pelagic organisms and processes, but benthos, hydrothermal vents, climate-change effects, and fisheries all receive attention. The chapter on oceanic biomes has been greatly expanded and a new chapter reviewing approaches to pelagic food webs has been added. Throughout, the book has been revised to account for recent advances in this rapidly changing field. The increased importance of molecular genetic data across the field is evident in most of the chapters. As with the previous edition, the book is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students of ocean ecology and professional marine ecologists.

No realm on Earth elicits thoughts of paradise more than the tropics. The tropical marine realm is special in myriad ways and for many reasons from seas of higher latitude, in housing iconic habitats such as coral reefs, snow white beaches, crystal clear waters, mangrove forests, extensive and rich seagrass meadows and expansive river deltas, such as the exemplar, the Amazon. But the tropics also has an even more complex side : tropical waters give rise to cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons, and unique oceanographic phenomena including the El Niño- Southern Oscillation which affects global climate patterns. "Tropical Marine Ecology" documents the structure and function of tropical marine populations, communities, and ecosystems in relation to environmental factors including climate patterns and climate change, and patterns of oceanographic phenomena such as tides and currents and major oceanographic features, as well as chemical and geological drivers. The book focuses on estuarine, coastal, continental shelf and open ocean ecosystems. The first part of the book deals with the climate, physics, geology, and chemistry of the tropical marine environment. The second section focuses on the origins, diversity, biogeography, and the structure and distribution of tropical biota. The third part explores the rates and patterns of primary and secondary production, and their drivers, and the characteristics of pelagic and benthic food webs. The fourth part examines how humans are altering tropical ecosystems via unsustainable fisheries, the decline and loss of habitat and fragmentation, Further, pollution is altering an earth already in the throes of climate change. Tropical Marine Ecology is an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to tropical marine ecology for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is also a rich resource and reference work for researchers and professional managers in marine science.
