A French ship with investigators on board look for clues near the crash site area.
Two French soldiers survived the Saturday night crash, the agency said.
French Defense Minister Herve Morin arrived in Gabon's capital of Libreville on Sunday and met with President Omar Bongo to coordinate recovery efforts for the body of one of the seven soldiers whose remains had not been found.
According to the French minister, "the cause of this tragedy remains unknown. It may be natural or human, or a combination of both."
Divers were inspecting the helicopter, which was in water 35 meters (about 115 feet) deep, Morin said.
French forces were in the former French colony for maritime security exercises with Gabonese soldiers when the incident happened.

Flirt-Express is now accepting passengers from 10 major German cities
Flirt-Express now accepting passengers from 10 major German cities for its second year of heart service.
Flirt-Express extends their service to all German singles on this Valentines season. Singles and lonely hearts will now have a chance to ride on the Flirt-Express train and meet their potential love partner for life at the same time each of the passengers will experience the best ride during Valentines Day. The flirt-express train departs from 10 major German cities on the night of February 13. Singles will ride the rails for the “nationwide flirt” hoping to meet a new potential lover and sweetheart every five minutes. If two hearts felt that they are strucked by cupid’s arrow during the Flirt-Express ride, they can decide to exchange personal details and extend their meeting further.
By the time the train pulls back into the station, there is a party for everyone. Successful couples, lonely hearts, singles and those who failed to meet a special someone in the Flirt-Express will have another chance to continue flirting “to their heart’s content.”
Flirt-Express is basically a speed-dating service with a twist during Valentine’s Day and Valentine’s Eve. Flirt-Express dating service for singles is now on its second year of service. It was very popular last year that it reached over 5,000 singles registered knowing only 800 seats were offered.
Speed dating is a form of matchmaking process or dating system. The purpose of speed dating is to encourage people to meet a large number of new people. Its origins are credited to Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah, originally as a way to help Jewish singles meet and marry. “SpeedDating”, as a single word, is a registered trademark of Aish HaTorah. “Speed dating”, as two separate words, is often used as a generic term for similar events.
The first speed-dating event took place at Pete’s Café in Beverly Hills in late 1998. Soon afterward, several commercial services began offering secular round-robin dating events across the United States.
Flirt-Express is one of speed-dating service with an excellent and unique love ride. Now, I want to ask you. What do you think of Flirt Express speed dating service?

Flight 1549, headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, was airborne less than three minutes, according to FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown.
The pilot radioed to air traffic controllers that he had experienced a bird strike and declared an emergency, a New Jersey State Police source said.
Sources identified the pilot as Chelsey B. "Sully" Sullenberger.
"I think a lot of people started praying and just collecting themselves," said passenger Fred Berretta. "It was quite stunning."

BANGKOK (AFP) – Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asia's Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday.
A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove".
The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWF's Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group.
"We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books."
The WWF report, "First Contact in the Greater Mekong", said that "between 1997 and 2007, at least 1,068 have been officially described by science as being newly discovered species."
These included the world's largest huntsman spider, with a leg span of 30 centimetres (11.8 inches), and the

In recent years, advertising has become a major revenue source for many websites. Not too long ago, online ads were often met with disapproval from visitors, and advertisers were unsure about their value or effectiveness. Today, most visitors have come to expect ads on commercial websites, and advertisers have recognized the potential of various online ad opportunities. Ads have long been a part of print publications, such as magazines and newspapers, and now they essentially have the same role in online periodicals and publications.
Although advertising is a concern for website owners and those pushing products or services, it is also has an impact on Web designers, because they have to be able to design and develop websites that can produce ad revenue and still meet the needs of visitors. Clients with websites that depend on ad revenue need a design that provides the necessary screen space and a proper layout for selling ads, and advertisers need placement that will get them the exposure they seek.
While advertisements are hardly the primary concern of Web designers in general, not accounting for them will result in a very awkward layout that can either detract from the flow of the website or put the ads in a spot where they will not receive enough attention from visitors. In order to maximize ad revenue for the client, with minimal interference in the appearance and usability of the website, the designer must take advertising needs into consideration throughout the design process.
Ads on The Raw Story seem to be squeezed in wherever possible, to the detriment of the content.
