This finding is from several marinas around France: Port de la Grande-Motte from La Grade-Motte, Port du Plaisance du Port Camargue in Le Grau-du-Roi, Port de Saint Tropez in Saint Tropez, and Port de Villefranche in Villefranche-mer-sur. The same study also found Amathia verticillata on hulls of boats moored in Port Vauban in Antibes. |
