Water

Semi-open coastal bathing zone influenced by the Morne Pavillon River. East winds and currents typically move waters toward the west of Tartane Bay. The zone is subject to runoff from steep upstream slopes and is vulnerable during the rainy season.

Location

Trinité commune, North-Atlantic Martinique. The complete bathing water profile is available at 51 rue Victor Hugo 97220 TRINITÉ.

Water Quality

According to simulation of water quality based on Directive 2006/7/CE, La Brèche beach is classified as Type 1 profile, indicating that the risk of water contamination is not established. Water quality is rated as sufficient, good, or excellent.

Risks

Potential sources of bacteriological pollution identified include: insufficient information regarding possible fertilizer applications on agricultural systems in the influence zone; sugar cane crops located near the beach. The bathing zone shows vulnerability during rainy season due to concentration of pollution in the semi-open setting, though vegetation coverage upstream aids infiltration of runoff waters.
