Expertise
IREMP's expertise is based on years of research dedicated to mesophotic and deep-sea ecosystems. Our teams combine robust scientific methods, cutting-edge technologies, and in-depth knowledge of tropical environments to produce data essential for understanding and conserving marine habitats.
Scientific expertise
IREMP develops cutting-edge scientific expertise on coral reef, mesophotic, and deep ecosystems in French Polynesia.
Its research focuses in particular on shark ecology and behavior, coral habitat dynamics, vertical migrations, as well as connectivity and space use by key species—particularly through telemetry tracking
With IREMP, you benefit from a dedicated team, cutting-edge tools, and tailored scientific support to understand, protect, and enhance Polynesia’s marine ecosystems.
Our added value is built on three pillars: scientific excellence, operational reliability, and the ability to turn data into actionable insights.
Robust scientific expertise tailored to your needs
We provide precise, verified, and actionable insights to guide your decision-making.
Whether assessing the status of a shark population, documenting a coral habitat, or characterizing the dynamics of a strategic site, our analyses deliver a clear perspective grounded in proven methodologies and the highest standards of scientific rigor.
Knowledge of mesophotic ecosystems
Our teams study biodiversity, population dynamics, and the functioning of deep tropical habitats.
We analyze:
– interactions between species,
– the ecological role of sharks and pelagic species,
– the impact of climate change,
– the structure and resilience of benthic communities.
This work helps improve our understanding of ecosystems that are essential, yet still largely undocumented.
Our scientists are trained in technical and deep diving, allowing us to directly access mesophotic zones.
Using specialized tools (rebreathers, underwater scooters, ROVs, advanced imaging), we collect data that very few teams worldwide are able to obtain.
This direct immersion in deep environments enhances the accuracy and quality of our observations.
