Abstract
An immersion of artificial reefs was carried out in the coastal area of Île d’Yeu (in English: Ohya Island).
The immersion chart voluntarily used various modules in order to use several experimental fixtures and different depths.
Large and huge single modules, chaotic arrangements, and organized arrangements of small modules at two different depths were chosen by the company to try several practical solutions.
Different surveys were made using a side-scan sonar, monobeam echosounder, underwater photo and video, and biofouling surveys.
Preliminary notice
This chapter relates the results of experiments developed by the authors in the framework of the company “In Vivo” during 4 years. The company had to survey the biofouling arrangement and the structural evolution. Several pieces of equipment were used: side-scan sonar, monobeam echosounder, experimental tiles, underwater photo, and video carried by divers.
