We are also proposing a second maritime action which consists of sailing from the the permanent microphone placed on the GIPREB Buoy in the Etang de Berre (a vast lagoon that marks the end of the rhone valley), The microphone is in need of repairs - so after taking care of that…

The small sailing boat Kassumy, skippered by Fabrice Galice, will make the journey from the Etang to Niolon streaming all the way using one of our mobile autonomous microphones (streambox drop) depending on the weather this will take most of saturday.


On Sunday morning at sunrise, weather permitting, we will take two sailing boats to a spot on the coast (Erevine) where there are generally plenty of birds and stream our open mike dawn chorus from there.
