Résumé : During the Echolag cruise (13 February-8 March 2007), the effect of 16-30 knot trade winds on abundance, community structure and dynamics of phytoplankton was investigated in the southern part of the New Caledonian coral reefs and surrounding oceanic waters. In this area, the coral reefs form two horn-like structures (hereinafter referred to as 'horn reefs'), oriented south-east, and separated by a relatively deep valley. Three repeated samplings at one week intervals of a 32 station array showed that trade winds induce surface water cooling and significant enrichment of mid- and bottom waters above the reef shelf. This enrichment appeared as the result of a general rise of the oceanic thermocline and nitracline due to the combination of trade winds and tidally-generated internal waves between the horn reefs. It was accompanied by a factor of 1.5 and 2.3 mean increase for the chlorophyll concentration and picoplankton-nanoplankton cell number, respectively. From diel variations of in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence and hourly sampling, phytoplankton gross growth rate was estimated to be 1-1.35 divisions per day and was quasi balanced with phytoplankton mortality for a 24 h period.

Résumé : This guide is intended to facilitate the implementation of specifications for marine environmental monitoring in New Caledonia. It is intended for public or private environmental actors. He provides a set of information on marine monitoring: summary of environmental regulations and the practical implications, definitions of terms, proposed general approach for the establishment of a monitoring, sampling strategy elements, method to develop reference frames, recommendations for the management and exploitation of data collected. The guide also provides lists of suggested environmental parameters to monitor for different pressures and general state of the environment, as well as, a set of methodology sheets for parameters and (when available) the reference values. This guide produced in 2011 based on technical and scientific knowledge that can evolve and is intended to be updated in the future.
Ce guide est destiné à faciliter la réalisation de cahiers des charges pour les suivis environnementaux marins en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Il s’adresse aux acteurs environnementaux publics ou privés. Il leur fournit un ensemble d’informations relatives aux suivis marins : résumé de la réglementation environnementale et de ces implications concrètes, définitions de termes, proposition de démarche générale pour la mise en place d’un suivi, éléments de stratégie d’échantillonnage, méthode pour concevoir des grilles de lecture, préconisations en matière de gestion et de valorisation des données récoltées. Le guide fournit également des listes de paramètres conseillés pour suivre différentes pressions et l’état général du milieu ainsi qu’une série de fiches méthodologiques pour les paramètres et (quand elles existent) des valeurs de référence. Ce guide produit en 2011 s’appuie sur des techniques et des connaissances scientifiques qui peuvent évoluer et est destiné à subir des modifications dans les années à venir.
