Response & Response Means Division
A fundamental part of Cedre's mission is an around the clock advisory service, which provides those in charge of spill response with information on the pollutants, their behaviour, the related risks, the best response methods and techniques, the products and equipment to use and operational data management.

Research & Development Department
Cedre carries out experimentation on all aspects of pollutants, response products and techniques. In addition to the artificial beach and deep-water basin, an experimentation hall, a flume tank, a laboratory, a water column and cultivation tanks in a greenhouse provide the technical tools necessary for research purposes. Cedre also conducts extensive experiments at sea with its partners.
Furthermore, the Research and Development Department is continually involved in national and European research programs which aim to further knowledge of pollutants and their behaviour, as well as to develop response strategies, techniques and products.
Technological development monitoring and experience feedback are also part of Cedre's mission. This involves finding out and providing information about the practices elsewhere, in order to learn, both in terms of technology and ecology, from incidents which have occurred both in France and abroad, and to follow up the situation after the incident.
