Installation of artificial habitats as part of the renaturation project for the new pier Quai Dezoums.
The construction of the new Dezoums pier led to the implementation of compensatory measures aimed at restoring fish nurseries. As part of this effort, Ecocean assisted Eiffage Construction in installing Biohut artificial nurseries.
« The implementation of the compensatory measure at the Quai Dezoums redevelopment site in Port-Vendres was carried out by the Ecocean team. This work, conducted in consultation with the scientific committee and led by Eiffage Civil Engineering, proceeded smoothly in terms of timing, adapting to the project’s progress, and the installation of the Biohut®. »
