The Vaccarès Lagoon System, located in the central part of Rhône Delta (France), is a complex shallow coastal lagoon, exposed to typical Mediterranean climate and specific hydrological regime affected by man-controlled exchanges with sea agricultural drainage channels. In this article, we report results obtained series monitoring programs, different spatial temporal resolutions. Long-term datasets from 1999 2019 data collected on monthly basis high resolution highlighted significant heterogeneity salinity regimes, helped determine long-term evolution total mass dissolved salt. High-frequency surveys allowed characterize water levels dynamics seasonal response (i) Sea, (ii) channels, (iii) rain evaporation. addition, wind effects variations are also explored. This work shows how strategies provide complementary information dynamic such system. Results will be useful insight for management similar lagoon systems, accommodating both human activities ecological stakes context global change.
