The ten French overseas territories forming the IFRECOR (French Coral Reef Initiative) network are islands scattered in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacifi c Oceans. Through their location, geomorphology, size, age and distribution, they are excellent representatives of the Earth's wide island diversity...

The present study highlights the importance of intertidal seagrass beds as nursery areas for coral reef fish juveniles along four sites (Mtsoubatsou, Sohoa, Boueni, Ngouja) on the western coast of Mayotte Island. The results collected by underwater visual census from November 2012 to January ...
Mayotte Island, in the Indian Ocean, is characterised by a coral reef lagoon complex and numerous pocket beaches nested between volcanic headlands. Field experiments were conducted in order to: compare wave attenuation from the outer barrier reef to the inner reef flat fronting three pocket beaches...
We will present the example of Mayotte project (France, West Indian Ocean) in 2008 established a 2,600 m underwater pipe line for around US $8.8 million (6.8 M?), linking "Grande Terre" to "Petite Terre" island, in a coral lagoon (marine protected area).Sylvain Pioch...
coral reef fishes; species diversity; Indian Ocean; conservation; climate change1. Introduction Species are the fundamental units of ecosystems and thus species inventories and their distributions provide a foundation for understanding coral reef communities and their conservation [1,2]. Communities of ...
In the coral reef of Mayotte (Comores) two species of Tethya have been found. One, T. peracuta (Topsent), lives densely in a restricted zone in the shallow waters of the lagoon. Its study in situ and in the laboratory has allowed a more complete description showing that this species ...
