Water

Coastal bathing area along the Atlantic Ocean in Brittany.

Location

Saint-Quay-Portrieux commune, Brittany region, France.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to European directives (1976 and 2006). Monitoring parameters include Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci. Classification categories range from A (good quality) to D (polluted). The 2006 directive simplified monitoring to two microbiological parameters instead of nineteen.

Risks

Potential pollution sources identified include river outlets, rainwater networks, wastewater treatment station, non-collective sanitation systems, pumping stations, port activities, and agricultural activities. Macro-algae and phytoplankton proliferation potentials are assessed. Exceptional events requiring public notification are considered.
