This work seeks to understand to what extent the future wind farms that will be established in the Channel and the Atlantic can complement the existing network of MPAs in terms of surface gain on the one hand and coverage of the three facets of biodiversity (taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic) on the other hand. In a second step, a draft optimization of the network of wind farms in the Bay of Biscay and in the English Channel was carried out in order to identify the locations optimizing the conservation of taxonomic diversity

The use of an ecological niche model has made it possible to characterize on the one hand the effects of climate change on the native species of the Gulf of Lio, such as displacements of favorable habitats or the reduction of the surface of the habitat. favor of native species. On the other hand, the potential displacement of the favorable habitat of some subtropical species in the Gulf of Lion could be expected. They would then become non-indigenous species (NIS)
