| Coastal
areas are special, indeed unique places
where salt and fresh water meet, interact
and propagate life. They are also much
sought after, fragile places. BCEOM
endeavours to strike a balance between
the demands of economic development
and environmental protection. There
again, a multidisciplinary approach
enables the development of urban, industrial
and tourist activities to be reconciled
with the protection of nature. |

Our
expertise
 |
Studying
coastal ecosystems through
the analysis of oceanographic
data, measurements, monitoring
and ecological appraisals, |
|
Modelling
hydrodynamic phenomena in
the sea, estuaries and shorelines,
in order to simulate flow
patterns, study salinity
and sedimentation parameters
and analyse potential pollution, |
|
Using
marine resource development
plans and coastal development
and management contracts
for planning purposes, |
|
Designing
and sizing port works and
protecting against marine
erosion: dykes, yards, pontoons,
quays, breakwaters, groynes. |

GUINEA
- Study of the impact
of the Garafiri and
Kaleta Dams on the Konkoure
Estuary and catchment
area (1998-2003).
The hydroelectric
development of the Garifiri
Dam, to be followed
by that of Kaleta, will
cause modifications
in the hydrological
regime of the Konkoure.
The study proposes to
rigorously monitor these
modifications and their
effects over several
annual cycles so as
to submit a set of relevant
information and analyses
to the authorities to
enable them to take
suitable action for
developing the area
(estuary and coastal
area).

INDONESIA
- South Java Sectoral
Flood Control Project
(1997-2002).
The purpose of
this ADB-financed project
is to improve the quality
of life in the project
area through sound management
of the natural resources
and the environment,
so as to eliminate regular
flooding and subsequent
damage and disease (flood
warning system, monitoring
river characteristics,
studying the influence
of the sea on river
mouths).
