Blog #1: Confinement & biodiversity: Some people's misfortune makes others happy?
The year 2020 is special: the Covid-19 crisis generated a two-month confinement period in the spring, which led to a halt in human activities. Consequently, the intuitions of a return of a more abundant biodiversity near the coasts are felt. Laurent Ballesta and the Andromède Océanologie team then decided to measure the potential impact of the cessation of human activities on underwater biodiversity. This mission started very early at the beginning of confinement and lasted until the end of the summer. The Andromède Océanologie team used innovative techniques such as environmental DNA and bioacoustics to obtain indicators whose values can be compared to those collected during previous missions.
