To reproduce, rest, feed, migrate or adapt to climate change, animal and plant species, both aquatic and terrestrial, need to be able to move around. But with urbanisation, deforestation, pollution and intensive farming, natural areas are shrinking and fragmenting, threatening biodiversity and the proper functioning of ecosystems as a whole. Ecosystems that are vital for […]
Read articleFor billions of years, the Earth's rotation on itself has resulted in the invariable succession of day and night on its surface. This natural alternation has profoundly shaped the evolution of living organisms through morphological, biological, and behavioural characteristics that enable many species to live, find their bearings and communicate in the darkness on which their survival largely depends.

In late 2018, the French government’s Strategic Contract for Maritime Industries placed particular emphasis on the decarbonisation of propulsion and on-board energy (‘green ships’), as well as the environmental footprint of shipyards (‘smart yards’). These topics were discussed in depth in […]
