	EO Newsroom: New Images - Bay of Biscay in Bloom
		A large phytoplankton bloom in France’s Bay of Biscay brought bright swirls of light blue and turquoise to the surface across much of the bay.
		Coccolithophores are not hazardous to their environment, and it is not at all unusual to see such a bloom in the Bay of Biscay this time of year.
		In addition to the role these organisms play in the marine food chain, scientists are interested in tracking coccolithophore blooms as indicators of the physical state of the ocean and how the ocean may be changing in response to shifting weather patterns and longer-term climate change.

		Overfishing some of the fish stocks of the Bay of Biscay constitutes a real threat for this area ; it is thus necessary to develop a sustainable management of the fisheries resources to keep both the economic activities and the exploited marine ecosystems from decline.
		This is why the Coastal Ecology Department (in particular the "Eutrophication and Bioaccumulation" and "Phytoplankton Blooms" laboratories) are focusing on characterising and modelling the phytoplankton compartment in the Bay of Biscay, especially in its northern part, as it is influenced by the Loire river inputs.
		Then a mathematical modelling approach was implemented (cf ELISE modelling) to summarise the data acquired previously, to sort in ascending sequences the main processes, and to predict the evolutions of the target ecosystems according to several scenarios of evolution for the forcing parameters.

	Fishupdate.com: Whale and dolphin calves increasing in Bay of Biscay
		THE Biscay Dolphin Research Programme (BDRP) has recorded an increasing number of whale and dolphin calves and juveniles in the Bay of Biscay and English Channel during the spring and summer months confirming the importance of the area as a calving ground and an area probably used by many species during the post-natal period.
		Over 3500 dolphins were seen during the passage south with a single pod in excess of 1000 individuals, with more than 50 juveniles and calves – this clearly demonstrates the importance of the area for this species.
		The Bay of Biscay is a area of variable sea depths, ranging from shallow coastal waters (less than 100 meters) to the very deep abyssal plain (>4000 meters), with many underwater features such as deep sea canyons and a steep continental slope.

		Most of the daylight on this journey was spent crossing the English Channel and passing the Brest Peninsula of France, crossing the bulk of the Bay of Biscay, generally the most interesting area, during the hours of darkness.
		The rest of the afternoon and early evening were spent passing fairly close to France, before finally entering the northern Bay of Biscay.
		We estimated that we would have reached the deep water of Biscay at around an hour after nightfall, and would have passed out of it by around an hour before sunrise, so we had just missed what was probably the most productive area, and hence had not seen quite as much as we had hoped.
