The research project GOETHE "Governing Mediterranean coastal basins to better fight against the eutrophication of lagoons and initiate their ecological restoration" is an interdisciplinary project that brings together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds to analyze inland inputs of nutrients at the entry of lagoons, as well as their impact on the ecological functioning of the aquatic ecosystems in Thau, Etang de l’Or et des Palavasiens. One of the original features of the project lies in the study of feedback loops, considered from two points of view: from the viewpoint of public policy analysis with the study of the policy feedback loop process (from policy evaluation towards policy decision) but also and above all from the point of view of political ecology, by studying the more counter-intuitive feedbacks from downstream to upstream of the watershed.
