Training provided by UMR MARBEC at its site in Sète, France. This module explores the current context of fishing and global climate change on the dynamics of marine ecosystems. With a view to better understanding and predicting the effects of fishing and climate on marine ecosystems, the teaching module is structured around the identification of uses, methods of assessment, and modeling of marine resource dynamics.

EU summary content:

Interactions between resources and fishing. Analysis of marine trophic interactions. Temporal dynamics of exploited fish populations (species alternation, recruitment). Modeling of predator-prey systems. Bioenergetic modeling (DEB model). Analysis and processing of catch and fishing effort data. Data analysis using GLM and GAM.

The expansion of the urban environment is causing the fragmentation/destruction of natural habitats, conservation problems, and a change in the relationship between humans and nature. However, urban areas can also be home to significant biodiversity in close proximity to humans, which can then be used for conservation, awareness-raising, improving human well-being, and even therapeutic purposes. It is a challenge to work in ecology while denying the existence and consequences of the urban environment and its particularities. The aim of this EU is to help future ecology professionals find compromises between urban development and respect for nature. Through courses taught by various professionals and a field trip to Montpellier, students will discover where (associations, consulting firms, local authorities, etc.), with whom, and how an ecologist can work in urban ecology.

The EU aims to provide knowledge, without a legal angle, of coastal areas included in the "public maritime domain" and other coastal and offshore maritime zones, and to show which legal regimes apply to these areas: ownership of these areas, rules for occupying these areas, and rules for developing these areas. The whole subject draws on the fields of maritime law, coastal law, urban planning, and environmental law at sea.

This course unit aims to provide knowledge of law and governance in relation to land use planning, the consideration of biodiversity in environmental law, and the emergence of management approaches based on ontologies of society's relationship with living organisms. This course unit is particularly useful for future environmental managers, both at the national level and in local authorities.

This EU is based on the same educational project as the EU "Salon de l'écologie-1" (Ecology Fair-1): the organization of and participation in two events, "Festi'Versité" and "Salon National de l'Ecologie" (National Ecology Fair (see "Ecology Fair-1" sheet).

The unique feature of the "Salon de l'écologie-2" EU lies in the roles and involvement of students in their mission to assist with the project management and organization of the two events. In this EU, they are involved in positions of responsibility as administrators of one of the partner student associations: president, treasurer, communications manager, logistics manager, eco-responsibility manager, festivities manager, conference manager, and forum manager. They will coordinate the highlights of the events, the actions of the various teams, and the work of the students and volunteers involved in the implementation through the "Ecology Fair 1" course unit.

The aim of this course is to introduce students to:
1. the functioning of communication departments in different types of organizations involved in scientific research and culture or its application (research institutes, local authorities, associations, NGOs, companies, etc.)
2. the methodology for developing a communication strategy and plan, as well as a press kit.
Teaching will be based on presentations by communication department managers from various organizations and on tutorials in which students will analyze and design communication strategies and plans and write press kits based on real projects submitted by communication department representatives.
