a. Method of quadrat-photos
[§ 1] A positioning frame will be arranged on the substrate (Figure 1 and 2) and will allow the exact positioning of 9 photoquadrats around a point (Figure 1 and 3) respecting the horizontality. Photo-quadrats collection have to be carried out by two divers, one maintaining the quadrat frame and the other shooting photographs.

[§ 2] Note that positioning the frame in the middle of erected species or crevices may be complicated and give photographs hard to operate. The team of the marine station of Endoume (Marseilles) will mainly use quadrats of 50 cm x 50 cm and GoPro camera.
d. Equipment
[§ 3] Sampling will require : 
50 cm x 50 cm quadrat (Marseilles region) or other Camera Diving torch of sufficient quality to light up the area photographed and make colours visible and species identification possible GPS? on the boat to locate the starting point
Image processing requires : PhotoQuad software (open source)
