Total Habitat Cover

Other Site Characteristics

Site marin. * Présence des algues Caulerpes (taxifolia et racemosa). * Forte fréquentation touristique et de loisirs, comme sur l'ensemble du littoral de la région PACA. * Présence de nombreux mouillages forains sur la zone qui impactent fortement l'herbier à posidonies, en particulier en Rade de Beaulieu. * Envasement des habitats de l'infra et du circalittoral dans la Rade de Beaulieu.

4.2 Quality and importance

Centrée sur le Cap Ferrat et la baie de Beaulieu à Cap d'Ail, cette entité est constituée d'habitats rocheux remarquables, en particulier les tombants et pentes (parfois abruptes) de la tête de canyon du Paillon et le plateau du Cap d'Ail. Il convient de souligner également les portions encore préservées d'herbiers de Posidonies ou de Cymodocées. Le canyon du Paillon entaille profondément la marge continentale (jusqu'à -1500 m) et conditionne les remontées d'eau froide, riches en nutriments. Ses pentes sont susceptibles d'abriter des formations à coraux profonds, à expertiser. Ce secteur est régulièrement fréquenté par des troupes de taille variable de grands dauphins. La zone plus au large, au niveau des ruptures de pentes et des grands fonds est très régulièrement exploitée par plusieurs autres espèces de mammifères marins (rorqual commun, cachalot, dauphin bleu et blanc).
