sites are characterized by an important relief and good biodiversity, such as Grotte
du Veyron caves and Calanque de l’Oulle (Fig. 17.1).
Cluster 2 is characterized by high values for R (maximum R = 34; average R = 23)
as in cluster 1. The highest B values is observed in this group (average B = 23). The
A values are equal or close to zero, similar to cluster 1 and 3 but higher than cluster
4 (average A = 0). This cluster includes sites known for their impressive landscapes
and highest biodiversity, such as the sites of La Gabinière and Sec de la Gabinière
of the national park of Port-Cros.
Cluster 3 is characterized by intermediate R (average R = 10) and B values
(average B = 9). B values are slightly higher than in cluster 1 but lower than those
observed in clusters 2. The A factor reached low values, close to zero, similar to
clusters 1 and 2, but the values were still largely higher than cluster 4 (Amoy = 0).
Many sites influenced by anthropogenic activities are present in this cluster;
however, they have a low damage level: all sites of Monaco (Port Monaco harbor,
Gradins Monaco), Digue Toulon (a pier), Pointe d’Endoume and Artificial Reefs
(RA) of the Cˆ ote Bleue Marine Park. This cluster also encompasses shallow natural
sites: Dalles de Bagaud, Fourmigues BM, Calanque du Mugel, Rague aux Corbs,
Herbier Saint-Tropez, SM Cˆ ote Bleue. This cluster thus grouped (i) anthropogenic
sites with low or no damage, (ii) shallow sites (mainly seagrass meadows) submitted
