New extension of the project
In order to allow the deployment of the tags and the receiving network on the last study sites (Aldabra and Reunion Island) as well as the acquisition of data over several months, which have been delayed by logistical constraints linked to the COVID health crisis (transport and supply of certain equipment), the instructing department (Reunion Island region) and the French State (Prefecture of Reunion Island) gave a favourable opinion to Ifremer's request for an additional extension of the IOT project by several months. The end of the project is now extended to 30 June 2022.
