Water

Marine coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The seabed consists of sand and muddy substrates. The area is subject to tidal currents and coastal hydrodynamics influenced by wind and weather patterns.

Location

Commune of La Guérinière, Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, France. The bathing areas comprise Plage du Fier and Plage de la Cour.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored by health authorities (ARS) and the IFREMER surveillance network. The profile identifies potential pollution sources including non-collective sanitation, collective wastewater treatment systems, stormwater discharges, and saltwater infiltration. Measurement campaigns were conducted in July 2010 and October 2011 to assess pollution impacts.

Risks

Potential pollution sources include untreated wastewater discharges from pumping stations, stormwater runoff, and groundwater infiltration. Macroalgae proliferation potential is monitored. Wind conditions and rainfall influence pollution dynamics and water quality variability.
