Abstract
The rich biodiversity of bays and estuary areas provides numerous services to human populations including food support, agricultural amendments [3], and tourism. These ecosystems are also the first players in coastal protection and erosion control [1]. In a global climate change context, the loss of biodiversity is critically depleting these ecosystem contributions. On the Channel French coast, bays and estuaries show large sediment cover variations especially in unique human-modified areas like the Rance estuary [5]. Calculating a discrete Shannon index eases the modelling of the benthic diversity by quantifying the proportion of each biological and geological class. Accurate descriptions of coastal basin structures are thus proposed using Shannon index evaluations [4].
