Lieux et pratiques de la plongée sous-marine sur la côte marseillaise : pour une approche géographique intégrée de l’espace marin littoral

Being a growing recreational activity on many coasts in the world, scuba diving is mainly known thanks to studies conducted in the frame of marine protected areas (MPAs). For management purposes indeed, it is necessary to know scuba diving practices and their ecological impact. But it is also import...
