Ecological potential of rivers and canals

Closed

The PERCA project is all about discovering the underwater environments of the Scheldt basin in France and Wallonia. By setting up a group of divers trained in biology and underwater photography, the project will make it possible to create a scientific watch, to share discoveries thanks to the video tool and to explore projects to be developed to restore environments. Freshwater underwater environments are under-prospected, as they are difficult to access and often considered to be of no interest. Thanks to the group of divers, we will be able to carry out inventories and image captures to follow the evolution of underwater environments and landscapes over time. To share the discoveries in an educational way, a documentary film and a series of short video clips will be produced. These productions will be optimised for use and sharing on the web. Finally, redevelopment and renaturation projects will be proposed to the managers of these sites.
