2  Type of information collected (rough, treatment, AI, image…) and how to collect them.

3  Copernicus, Mercator and associated platforms.

4  Visit of the Thales Alenia Space site (Cannes).

5  Ocean applications: focus on ocean colour  

  • Research: studying the sea (temperature, primary production, ecosystems, global  change…).
  • Management: monitoring water quality, pollution.
  • Innovation: case studies for fisheries and aquaculture.
