Water

Coastal marine bathing area in the English Channel region of Normandy.

Location

Quinéville, Manche department, Normandy, France. The beach is located in the commune of Quinéville and is bordered by the communes of Lestre and Fontenay-sur-Mer.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored for fecal contamination indicators. Historical classification data exists under Directive 76/160/CEE, with simulated classifications under the newer Directive 2006/7/CEE. The profile identifies potential pollution sources including domestic wastewater, stormwater, agricultural activities, and coastal discharges. The objective is to achieve sufficient water quality by 2015.

Risks

Potential pollution sources identified include domestic wastewater from collective and non-collective sanitation systems, stormwater runoff, agricultural activities, mooring zones, and recreational facilities such as camping and mobile home areas.
