Résumé : Cet article présente une évaluation des bénéfices de la protection par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires des mangroves de Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte et Saint-Martin. Il détaille l’évaluation des services écosystémiques des mangroves sur ces territoires, puis développe des projections pour l’évolution de leurs surfaces en présence ou en absence de protection par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires. Évaluation et projections ont permis d’estimer les conséquences économiques de cette protection sur 25 ans. Les bénéfices calculés de cette protection sont compris entre 33 000 €/ha et 51 000 €/ha pour les mangroves soumises à des pressions anthropiques importantes. Le maintien des services de régulation correspond à 90 % de cette valeur, surtout pour la capacité des mangroves à épurer les eaux continentales, à protéger et stabiliser la côte et à participer à la régulation du climat global en séquestrant du carbone. Ces résultats objectivent la place des mangroves dans l’économie locale du littoral outre-mer et offrent un plaidoyer pour l’acquisition et la protection des espaces les plus vulnérables par le Conservatoire du littoral et ses partenaires. Les limites inhérentes aux méthodologies utilisées s’appliquent ici : ces évaluations permettent de capter les valeurs d’usage des écosystèmes, mais ne prennent pas en compte la totalité des valeurs de biodiversité, telles que les valeurs de non-usage ou les aspects liés aux espèces remarquables des mangroves. Toutefois, les résultats de ce travail permettent de donner des estimations réalistes à considérer comme des bornes inférieures de la valeur totale des écosystèmes et de leur protection.
This article presents a valuation of the benefits brought by the protection of mangroves from the Conservatoire du littoral and its partners in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Saint Martin. We detail a contextualized mangroves’ ecosystem services valuation, then develop projections regarding the evolution of their surfaces whether they are protected or not. It was then possible to estimate the economic impacts of 25 years of mangroves protection. When human pressure is high, those benefits range from 33 000 €/ha to 51 000 €/ha. About 90% of this value is due to the conservation of regulating services, such as water treatment capacity, coastal protection and global climate mitigation through carbon sequestration. Our results objectify the importance of mangrove ecosystems in oversea coastal territories’ local economy, and provide advocacy and guidance for the protection strategy of the Conservatoire du littoral and its partners. The methodology we used has inherent limitations one should consider: the ecosystem services valuation focuses on use values and excludes most non-use or intrinsic values, which could also be important for mangroves regarding their remarkable biodiversity. However, our results supply a realistic valuation to be understood as a lower boundary for the total value of oversea mangroves and for the benefits of their protection.

Description : La Martinique subit depuis quelques années une recrudescence de nuisance due aux piqûres de culicoïdes. Auparavant cantonnée aux zones littorales (plages, mangroves), cette nuisance s'est accentuée dans un passé récent, avec des attaques massives notifiées dans toute l'île, notamment à l'intérieur des terres. Si plus de 1300 espèces de ces petits moucherons hématophages membres de la famille des Ceratopogonidae sont inventoriées à l'échelle du globe, seules deux espèces avaient été décrites à la Martinique : Culicoides furens (Poey, 1853) et C. hoffmani (Fox, 1946). Cette communication nous en dit plus sur le sujet.

Résumé : International audience
Large filamentous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the Beggiatoacae family can cover large portions of shallow marine sediments surrounding mangroves in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). In order to assess the importance of Beggiatoa mats as an infaunal food source, observations were conducted of the area within mats and at increasing distances from mats. We used natural isotopic compositions and a C-13 enrichment study. Both revealed an ingestion of bacterial mats by associated meiofauna, dominated by rotifers and to a smaller extent by small polychaetes and nematodes. Compared to adjacent sites, sediment covered by bacterial mats presented a higher abundance of diatoms, whereas the total biomass of bacteria did not vary. This constant bacterial abundance suggests that the proportion of organic matter represented by sulfur bacteria is limited compared to the fraction of total bacteria. There was no significant difference in infaunal abundance in mats, suggesting that the availability of this chemosynthetic food resource had a limited local effect. Grazers presented a delta C-13 value increasing with distance from the mat. However, isotopic composition of phospholipid-derived fatty acids specific for diatoms and bacteria revealed that this change is related to modifications of delta C-13 dietary components rather than to changes in diet composition. These complementary methods revealed that the occurrence of sulfur-oxidizing bacterial mats does not necessarily affect grazer abundance and importance of bacteria in their diet. Despite its wide occurrence, Beggiatoa mats would consequently have a minor influence on the structure of the mangrove food web.

ln French Guiana, the mangrove covers almost ail the coastline. It results original because of a dynamic influenced by the system of the amazon muds' dispersion. The coastline's variations are important and the mangrove growing there constitutes various facies. To understand the structure and dynamic of this forest, a test-site has been selected at the Kaw river's estuary. Field measurements of structure parameters permited to identify 3 major types of mangrove forests with different developement stages. Relations between the measured parameters show the facies'dynamic with a self-thinning phnomenon then a gap regeneration. Correlations between structure parameters and corresponding spectral parameters extracted from an IKONOS image have been tested. The use of texture indexes are discussed. Then, a classification of the image reveals the spatial distribution of the facies Parallely, the constitution of a temporal series from 1950 to 2001, base on various remote sensed datas, shows the evolution of the coastline and the associated mangrove. During this period, succeed accretion phases (1950-1981; 1991-2001) and erosion phase (1981-1991). A theorical ages map of the forest stands are also established. Relating with the facies map, it explains the complex evolution of limited Rhizophora zones. A comparison with Sinnamary test-site is made and futurs researches considered.
En Guyane française, la mangrove couvre l'essentiel du littoral. Elle tire son originalité d'une dynamique influencée par le système de dispersion des boues amazoniennes. Les variations de la ligne de côte sont alors importantes et les mangroves s'y développant constituent des faciès variés. Pour mieux comprendre la structure et la dynamique de ces mangroves, un site atelier a été choisi au niveau de l'estuaire de la rivière de Kaw. Les mesures sur le terrain de paramètres de structure des peuplements permettent d'identifier 3 grands types de forêt avec différents stades de développement. Des relations entre les différents paramètres mesurés mettent en évidence la dynamique de ces faciès, basée sur un phénomène d'auto-éclaircie puis une régénération par chablis. Un essai de corrélation entre paramètres de structure et paramètres spectraux correspondant sur une image IKONOS a été faite. L'apport des indices de texture est discuté. Une classification de l'image montre la distribution spatiale des faciès. Parallèlement, la reconstitution d'une série temporelle de 1950 à 2001 à partir de données de télédétection variées permet de suivre l'évolution de la côte et de la mangrove associée. Pendant cette période se succèdent phases d'accrétion (1950-1981 ; 1991-2001) et phase d'érosion (1981-1991). Une carte des âges théoriques des peuplements est également établie. Mise en relation avec la carte des faciès, elle explique notamment l'évolution complexe des zones limitées de mangrove à Rhizophora. Une comparaison avec le site de Sinnamary est faite et de futures recherches envisagées.

Résumé : International audience
The functioning of the Manche-à-Eau lagoon and of its mangrove environment with the population of marine fish of Guadeloupe has been studied since 1983, and particularly in the 2000s. This ecosystem supports a stable fish assemblage structure because of its twice a day turnover (14.8%) of marine water. It is a favorable and important site for the reproduction (38%) and growth (46%) of a large number of species. The life cycle of these fish species share, for the most part, an ecophase in the mangrove in brackish water and a marine ecophase outside the lagoon. The mangrove plays a vital role in the retention of continental nutrients. This facilitates the trophic exploitation of vegetal and animal detritus bases by the fish in high population density. The majority of populations present individuals reaching length at least 40% from the known maximum length for the species, although only 38.1% have individuals longer than 300 mm. The mangrove aids in the spawning activity of fish species (41% to 58% of the total abundance) and in the reproductive (maturation, migration) process (58% in density and 70% in biomass). The sedentary species lay their eggs in the mangrove, whereas the temporary species stay there during their trophic ecophase or after a genesic migration from the sea to assure sexual maturation for both sexes in the species.

Résumé : International audience
PurposeMarine mangrove sediments in the Manche-à-Eau lagoon (Guadeloupe, Caribbean Sea) harbor locally extensive, white microbial mats. These mats cover the surface of reduced sediments near the roots of red mangrove trees, Rhizophora mangle, and are mainly composed of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the Beggiatoaceae family, with some filamentous cyanobacteria. The goal of this study was to investigate the possible influence of sediment characteristics on the presence of these microbial mats.Materials and methodsFour push cores were collected in April 2013, two from zones with microbial mats and two from zones without mats. Sediment characteristics (grain-size distribution, mineralogy, total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents, atomic TOC/TN ratios, and organic matter (OM) δ13C values) were compared for all four cores.Results and discussionSignificant differences were observed between sediments below microbial mats and those without mats. Sediments with microbial mats contained greater amounts of clay, and higher TOC, TN, and TOC/TN ratios, with lower total carbonate content and δ13C values. The higher clay content most likely results from lower fluid flow velocity near to mangrove roots, while higher TOC/TN ratios and lower δ13C values indicate higher inputs of OM from mangrove trees. These results are consistent with the fact that microbial mats were observed near the roots of mangrove trees, which trap OM from terrestrial vegetation and fine sediments.ConclusionsThe grain-size distribution of sediment particles, the total carbonate content, and the δ13C values are the main parameters discriminating between zones with microbial mats and those without mats. Variations in total carbonate content, which is mainly of biogenic origin, result from conditions that are more favorable for benthic organisms in zones without microbial mats. Variations of the TOC/TN ratios are controlled by the presence of a non-negligible amount of inorganic nitrogen bound to surface clay mineral particles and/or by microbial processes.

Résumé : Les mattes de procaryotes constituent une niche écologique diversifiée. peu étudié!<..en mangrove et jamais décrjte dans les Antilles. L'objectif de cette thèse est de décrire les procaryotes filamenteux reposant sur le sédiment marin et de caractériser les interactions entre la matte, milieu et entre les différents micro-organismes. Nous avons d'abord caractérisé les micro-organismes majoritaires de la matte par le séquençage de l'ADNr 16S et des hybridations moléculaires (FISH). Il a ainsi été possible de décrire deux nouvelles espèces de Beggiatoaceae dont la structure a été étudiée par microscopie électronique. De plus, afin de caractériser l'environnement chimique de ces bactéries, des capteurs potentiométriques ont été utilisés. Ils ont permis de démontrer que les Beggiaotaceae oxydaient les sulfures en prélevant l'oxygène du milieu, tandis que des analyses de microscopie couplées à de l'EDX ont mis en évidence des réserves de soufre intracellulaires dans ces bactéries. Le séquençage de l'ADNr 16S des cyanobactéries filamenteuses a mis en évidence quatre nouvelles espèces de l'ord~e des Oscillatoriales. Deux d'entre elles, du genre Planktothricoides ont révélé une toxicité positive sur les Artemia sp:, les deux autres ont été identifiées comme proches d'Oscillatoria spongeliae, une espèce symbiotique d'éponge, bien que les coupes uItrafines d'une de ces souches aient montré une morphologie interne proche des Tychonema. L'analyse des données a permis d'étoffer les connaissances sur les communautés microbiennes de mangrove et constitue une base intéressante de travail sur la contribution des micro-organismes au fonctionnement de l'écosystème mangrove dans son ensemble
Procaryotic mats are ecological niches, occuring in many ecosystems. Those structures are little studied in marine mangrove sediment and have never been described in West Indies. The purpose ofthis thesis is to characterize the interactions between the mat and the environment, and between the different filamentous micro-organisms living into the mat. In a first place, we characterized the mainly micro-organisrns of the mat by sequencing 16S rDNA. We confirmed these sequences by molecular hybridization (FISH) with specific probes designed from sequences obtained. Thus, it was possible to describe two new Beggiatoaceae strains, whose structure has been studied by electronic microscopy. Furthemore, we used potentiometric captors in situ and in laboratory, by creating a mesocosm, in order to define the chemical environment where involved these bacteria. These experiences proved that the Beggiatoaceae of the mat oxidized the sulfur taking the oxygen from the medium, while the microscopic analysis coupled with EDX showed intracellular sulfur granules into the bacteria. The study of the filamentous cyanobacteria of the mat highlighted four new cyanobacteria strains, all studied by electronic rmcroscopy. Two of them belongs to Planktothrlcoides genus and showed positive toxicity on Artemia salina. The others species are close to Oscillatorla spongeliae, a sponge symbiont, nevertheless, one ofthem showed an intemal morphology close to Tychonema. The analysis of the different results adduces sorne knowledge about mangrove microbial communities. Furthermore, this study can be used as an interesting base to study the micro-organisms contribution in functioning mangrove ecosystem

Résumé : The accumulation of nine heavy metals in fine-grained sediments from the mangrove fringed coast of French Guiana is evaluated. The dynamic features of the South American tropical coastline, from the Amazon to the Orinoco Rivers, result in mangrove sediments being alternately submitted to phases of erosion and net sedimentation a few tens of years long. This process influences the distribution of the heavy metals associated with these frequently re-mobilized deposits. Sedimentary cores and mangrove plant samples were collected, at different seasons, in various swamps characterized by different properties (content of sedimentary organic matter, distance from sea water and fresh water). The ranges of measured concentrations expressed in mu mol g(-1) were the following: Cu (0.06 to 0.61), Co (0.12 to 0.68), Pb (0.08 to 0.18), Ni (0.32 to 0.76), Cr (0.61 to 1.40), Zn (1.25 to 5.94), Mn (4.36 to 45.4) and Fe (441 to 1128). No differences were found between sediments from mangroves developing upstream and downstream of urban areas, i.e. Cayenne and Kourou. This suggests that the content of mangrove sediments in heavy metals along the coastline of French Guiana is essentially the result of the continuous alternation of accumulation and transport phases occurring upstream after departing from the Amazon watershed. The sources of this heavy metals content are thus difficult to identify. However it is well known that the alluvium produced by the natural erosion of the Amazonian soils is naturally enriched in mercury. Also, the run-off from gold mining activities is known to contribute to mercury pollution. Ranges in total Hg were between 0.15 and 2.57 nmol g(-1), with mean values close to 0.41 nmol g(-1), and were clearly correlated with total organic carbon except for some outstanding high values, which may be a result of rapid geochemical changes. Heavy metal concentrations showed variations with depth. The redox conditions and the decay processes affecting the organic matter control the cycling of iron and manganese, which in turn control the concentrations and associations of heavy metals. These preliminary results suggest that the variations in heavy metal content with depth or between mangrove areas result largely from diagenetic processes rather than changes in metal input resulting from local human activities.

Résumé : International audience
The mangrove swamp environment constitutes a sulphide rich habitat harbouring some thioautotrophic organisms. The ciliate Zoothamnium niveum and the nematode Eubostrichus dianae, both known to live associated with bacterial sulphide-oxidizing ectosymbionts, were analysed as positive controls by Raman microspectrometry. The detection of the 3 Raman bands characteristic of elemental sulphur (S8) allows us to define a positive model of sulphide-oxidizing symbiotic invertebrates and by extrapolation, of thioautotrophic organisms. A fast screening using this tool was carried out on eukaryotic organisms such as hydrozoan, nematodes, annelids, copepods, and ciliate (Pseudovorticella sp.) and on free-living filamentous bacteria found on decomposing leaves in order to detect thioautotrophic organisms. The Raman microspectrometry permits us: (i) to reveal thioautotrophic metabolism of free-living bacteria (Beggiatoa sp.) and even for Archaea and (ii) to detect sulphide-oxidizing endosymbiotic and ectosymbiotic bacteria associated with the Bivalve Lucina pectinata and Pseudovorticella sp., respectively. Raman microspectrometry represents a fast, easy and non destructive technique which can be used on living organisms without constraints of sample size. The Raman analysis can also be completed by ultrastructural analysis (SEM, TEM) on the same sample.

Résumé : La Martinique possède 55 km2 de récifs coralliens, 50 d’herbiers et 20 de mangroves. Ces trois écosystèmes produisent des biens et services dont la valeur est estimée à quelque 250 millions d’euros par an. Près de 60 % de cette valeur est issue des usages directs liés aux activités récréatives (plongée, excursion, récréation balnéaire) induites pour l’essentiel par le tourisme et celles liées à la pêche (professionnelle et de plaisancière). Les services écosystémiques (assimilés aux usages indirects) tels que la protection des côtes, l’absorption/séquestration de carbone, la production de biomasse de poissons et l’épuration de l’eau sont conséquents puisque leur valeur annuelle s’élève à 94 millions € soit 38 % de la valeur totale. La valeur de ce qui a trait au non-usage des récifs, herbiers et mangroves (lié à la volonté de transmettre un patrimoine écologique pour l’essentiel ou encore à la satisfaction de savoir que les récifs sont en bon état) se traduit par une création de valeur de l’ordre de 10 millions €/an. Les herbiers et les mangroves contribuent le plus (par km2) à la création de valeur (respectivement 2,16 millions €/km2, 1,87 million €/km2 contre 1,78 million €/km2 pour les récifs). Ils doivent donc bénéficier de mesures de protection et surtout de valorisation au même titre que les récifs coralliens qui font déjà l’objet d’une attention particulière.
Martinique possesses 55 km2 of coral reefs, 50 of sea grass and 20 of mangroves. These three ecosystems produce services for a value estimated at 250 millions € per year. About 60% of this value originates from directs uses such as recreational activities (diving, excursions, beach activities, etc.) induce by tourism and fishery. Ecosystem services (indirect uses) such as coastal protection, carbon sequestration, biomass production and water purification are significant since their sum value reaches annually 94 millions € (38% of the total economic value). Non-use value links to the improvement of the health of coastal ecosystem is estimated to 10 millions € per year. At the ecosystem level, sea grass and mangrove contribute the more (per km2) to the wealth creation (respectively 2,16 millions €/km2, 1,87 million €/km2 against 1,78 million €/km2 for the reefs). They need therefore to benefit from protection and management measures in the same magnitude than the reefs already received.

Résumé : International audience
Wood debris are an important component of mangrove marine environments. Current knowledge of the ecological role of wood falls is limited by the absence of information on metazoan colonization processes over time. The aim of this study was to provide insights to their temporal dynamics of wood eukaryotic colonization from a shallow water experiment in a mangrove swamp. Combined in situ chemical monitoring and biological surveys revealed that the succession of colonizers in the mangrove swamp relates with the rapid evolution of sulfide concentration on the wood surface. Sulfide-tolerant species are among the first colonizers and dominate over several weeks when the sulfide content is at its maximum, followed by less tolerant opportunistic species when sulfide decreases. This study supports the idea that woody debris can sustain chemosynthetic symbioses over short time-scale in tropical shallow waters.

Résumé : International audience
In this multidisciplinary study, we combined morphological, physiological, and phylogenetic approaches to identify three dominant water bloom-forming Cyanobacteria in a tropical marine mangrove in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences place these marine Cyanobacteria in the genera Oscillatoria (Oscillatoria sp. clone gwada, strain OG) or Planktothricoides (Candidatus Planktothricoides niger' strain OB and Candidatus Planktothricoides rosea' strain OP; both provisionally novel species within the genus Planktothricoides). Bioassays showed that Candidatus Planktothricoides niger' and Candidatus Planktothricoides rosea' are toxin-producing organisms. This is the first report of the characterization of Cyanobacteria colonizing periphyton mats of a tropical marine mangrove. We describe two novel benthic marine species and provide new insight into Oscillatoriaceae and their potential role in marine sulfide-rich environments such as mangroves.
