The algal team, Claude Payri, Jean Louis Menou, Lydiane Mattio, et Antoine N'Yeurt, was collecting in Moorea from October to December 2008. The goal of this expedition was to make the inventory of the algal flora and to collect macro-species (multi-cellular and > 5mm) from the reefs and lagoons of Moorea. During this mission, 45 stations were prospected and referenced with a GPS. In each station, specimen were collected and photographed in situ when possible.
