| Changes over a period of thirty years in a circalittoral mud community (% silt greater than or equal to 75) in the Gulf of Fos (French, Mediterranean coast) have been followed at three sites spaced along a transect NNW-SSE at depths of 15, 35 and 70 m. The results clearly show how the macrobenthic community at the three sites has been influenced by the construction of the port of Fos, notably as a consequence of sediment suspension during the dredging of the docks and the access channel, but also due to the dumping at sea of dredged material (more than 100 x 10(6) m(3) were dredged, about a quarter of which was dumped at sea, at depths of 30 to 60 m).
