Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to Directive 2006. Bacteriological quality is monitored with daily concentration thresholds. Shellfish farming zones and foot-fishing areas are classified by prefectoral decree and monitored via the REMI network. Potential for macro-algae proliferation, phytoplankton toxicity, cyanobacteria proliferation, and jellyfish invasions have been studied.

Risks

Potential pollution sources include wastewater treatment discharge, stormwater pollution, non-collective sanitation, hydrographic sources, diffuse pollution from fishing and leisure ports, agriculture, aquaculture, camping areas, and accidental point-source pollution. Jellyfish invasion episodes have been documented.
