The application of this protocol is intended to allow for baseline data to be gathered against which future monitoring data will be compared to demonstrate the effectiveness of protection measures within the MPA of Rdum il-Majjiesa to Ras ir-Raheb , and as a pilot project for the application of this protocol. Under the spirit of INTERREG IIIC and as a management tool, the protocol aims to be a tool applicable not only to the study of the evolution of Pinna nobilis populations in Rdum il-Majjiesa to Ras ir-Raheb , but also a tool ready to be used for the study of this species ecology and improve its protection in other MPAs.L{\textquoteright}application de ce protocole a pour but de rassembler des donn{\'e}es initiales auxquelles des donn{\'e}es de surveillance future seront compar{\'e}es afin de d{\'e}montrer l{\textquoteright}efficacit{\'e} des mesures de protection au sein de l{\textquoteright}AMP de Rdum il-Majjiesa
