The Kerguelen Islands are part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF), headquartered in St. Pierre de la Reunion. The TAAF have created in October 2006 a nature reserve covering an area of 22,700 km² making it the largest reserve of France. The marine reserve area of 15,700 km² 4 times the size of the marine park of the Gulf of Lion; it is also a hot spot of marine diversity. The goal of the program is PROTEKER set up a marine observatory for the ecological and genetic monitoring of coastal biodiversity of the Kerguelen Islands and assessment of current and expected environmental changes on this biodiversity (Saucède et al). With the increasing risks due to climate warming on marine environments, many initiatives are in place, protecting the environment can not be done when one has gained a deep understanding of the medium. Monitoring of population structure in a conservation objective requires an initial inventory and regular quantitative and qualitative observations. Image analysis through photoQuad software makes the characterization of marine habitats fast and easily reproducible.
