Coastal marine water body on the Atlantic Ocean. Subject to tidal currents with variations at different tidal phases (slack water, flood tide, ebb tide). Significant wave heights and current velocities documented at various tidal conditions.

Location

Porspoder commune, Finistère, Brittany, France. Located on the Atlantic coast near Lampaul-Plouarzel.

Water Quality

Water quality monitored for E. coli and enterococci bacteria. Quality assessment based on 90th and 95th percentile calculations. Historical monitoring data available from 1994 onwards. Microbiological quality influenced by rainfall events and tidal conditions.

Risks

Rainfall events cause increased bacterial contamination. Tidal conditions influence water quality variations. Multiple pollution sources identified within the study area contributing to microbiological contamination.
