Résumé :	Until 1966, Berre lagoon (Provence, southern France) was a salty lagoon with a highly diversified marine fauna and flora. Increased inputs of freshwater from a hydroelectric plant led to the desalination and stratification of the lagoon. Following these changes, a wide diversity of species disappeared, including the eelgrass Zostera marina, a keystone species which previously constituted extensive meadows in the lagoon. After almost three decades of absence, patches of eelgrass were observed in 2001 and 2002 but the success of future recolonization by this community is uncertain.
