Projet Marineff EN
Brief overview
Ports of Normandy is a partner of the MARINEFF project (MARine INfrastructures EFFects) which aims to promote the ecosystems along the Channel coast. The project was selected for the European programme for cross-border collaboration INTERREG VA France/England and co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).
Currently the maritime infrastructures (breakwaters, piers, wharves, groynes, moorings, etc.) were neither designed nor built for the purpose of improving and protecting ecosystems. The goal of the project MARINEFF is to develop marine infrastructures that improve the environmental health of the Channel’s coastal waters.
Making land available
The role of the Ports of Normandy in this project is to make land available at Cherbourg and Ouistreham, provide infrastructures for experimentation, develop a network of professionals who are interested in the progress and results of the project, and to contribute to communications.
