The first field campaign took place in the Bay of Bourgneuf, France (see interactive map below) from June 22nd to 28th. The aim of this campaign was to reveal the link between tidal flat biodiversity and supporting ecosystem services such as primary production and sediment resistance against erosion. In addition, an in situ stable isotope experiment was carried out to trace the carbon flow in intertidal sediments.
