Macrophytes are an important component of hydrosystems. A thorough knowledge of species and their ecology enables us to:
- Establish the ecological value of lake littoral areas, ponds and streams through inventories
- Evaluate the effects of anthropic disturbances
- Identify and determine high-value sites
- Propose littoral area management measures (protection, restoration) as well as stream and pond preservation
As scuba-diving and underwater species experts, we have the ability to generate macrophyte underwater mapping.
