Training delivered by UMR MARBEC at its site in Sète, France. This module develops the current context of fisheries and global climate change on marine ecosystem dynamics. 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, assessment methods and modeling of marine resource dynamics.

Synthetic content of the EU:

Resource and fishing interactions. 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. GLM and GAM data analysis.

The expansion of the urban environment is leading to the fragmentation/destruction of natural habitats, conservation problems and a change in the relationship between man and nature. However, urban spaces can also be home to significant biodiversity in close proximity to man, which can then be used for conservation, awareness-raising, improving human well-being or even therapeutic purposes. It's a tall order to try to work in ecology while denying the existence and consequences of the urban environment and its particularities. The aim of this course is to help future ecology professionals find a compromise between urban development and respect for nature. Through courses given by a variety of professionals and a field trip to Montpellier, students will discover where (associations, consultancies, local authorities, etc.), with whom and how an ecologist can act in urban ecology.

The aim of this course is to provide a legal understanding of the coastal areas included in the "maritime public domain", and of 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, rules for developing these areas. The book draws on the law of the sea, coastal and urban planning law, and marine environmental law.

The aim of this course is to provide legal and governance knowledge on land-use planning, the consideration of biodiversity in environmental law, and the awakening of management to the ontologies of societies' relationships with living organisms. This course is particularly useful for future environmental managers, at both national and local level.

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

The specificity of the "Salon de l'écologie-2" UE lies in the roles and involvement of the students in their mission of assisting the project managers of the 2 events. In this UE, 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, congress manager, 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 implementation through the "Salon de l'écologie 1" EU.

Project management is an essential skill for a Master's-level professional. The aim of this course is to enable you to design and manage a project. We'll look at the different phases of a project, its financing (diversification of sources and budget), the planning of work, time and resources, teamwork (meetings, conflicts, reporting) and risk management. The 6-week "project management" MOOC (Common Core, or classic course - 20 hours of training: Common Core (4 weeks) + 2 specialization modules minimum) between late September and early November will be supplemented by various TDs.

The aim of this course is to deepen understanding of key concepts relating to climate change, to illustrate important concepts in ecology and evolution in the light of climate change, in many different ecosystems, and to produce a synthesis of the various scientific and societal questions and issues raised by CC.

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

This course aims to provide a better understanding of the main types of pollutants (organic vs. inorganic), their source(s), their fate in the environment and how they interact with living organisms (bioaccumulation, biotransformation, effects). The methods used in depollution and bioremediation will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be placed on the contribution of terrestrial and aquatic plants to phytoremediation, and on the role of micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi) in biodegradation, biotransformation or biosequestration mechanisms. This course will be illustrated by a number of case studies, covering examples of chronic and acute/accidental pollution of water, air and soil. In particular, the treatment of pollution linked to the mining, oil, plastics and phyto-pharmaceutical industries will be covered, as will the treatment of liquid effluents (wastewater, industrial effluents). A field trip to Saint-Laurent-Le-Minier will illustrate a current phytoremediation project on a former mining site.
