The macrofouling qualification and quantification protocols were extracted from 64 public documents (33 scientific articles, 1 book chapter, 22 internal reports, 4 internship reports and 4 theses) presenting studies conducted in France (n = 40), Europe (n = 16) and the world (n = 8).

The objective of the ANODE project was to quantify the chemical compounds emitted by the galvanic anodes of ORE structures and the risk associated with their dispersion in the marine environment. By combining ecotoxicological expertise and hydrodynamic modelling, the ANODE project has determined that there is no risk associated with most of the elements making up galvanic anodes, namely zinc, iron, copper and cadmium. On the other hand, concerning aluminium, additional experiments are necessary to conclude. The two currently available Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNECs) do not seem suitable for this assessment. These thresholds must therefore be refined and include data from in situ measurements in order to be able to estimate the possible risk associated with aluminium releases.

The main objective of this atlas is to summarise the knowledge acquired on biofouling, and more generally on communities of living organisms on hard substrates, available today in mainland France and the French overseas territories, in order to anticipate the issues that this phenomenon will pose in an ORE context. The atlas is based on the most exhaustive bibliographical analysis possible, including A-level scientific articles, reports (training courses, monitoring, studies), and works presenting the results of studies conducted in French waters
