The station is deployed from March to May 2026 to continuously record data.

It allows for the measurement of :

โ€ข ๐ŸŒŠ The speed and direction of currents

โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ The turbidity of the water

Maintenance is scheduled and has already taken place to ensure :

โ€ข โš™๏ธ The operational condition of the installation

โ€ข ๐Ÿ“Š Regular data collection

Located 300 meters from the Pointeau shore, the station is installed in the sediment using a screw anchor.
