Water

Mediterranean Sea beaches. The area is influenced by the Lez river, the Canal du Rhône à Sète, and the étang de l'Or (Gold Lagoon) and other local lagoons.

Location

Palavas-les-Flots, France. The three beaches are Saint Maurice, le Grec, and la Roquille.

Water Quality

Bathing waters classified under the 2006 Directive. Water quality is monitored and classified bacteriologically. Potential pollution sources include wastewater treatment plant discharges, storm water overflows, non-collective sanitation systems, diffuse agricultural pollution, and occasional accidental contamination from port activities and camping areas.

Risks

Macro-algae proliferation potential, phytoplankton proliferation potential, cyanobacteria proliferation potential, and jellyfish invasion episodes are studied. Water quality is influenced by rainfall and wind conditions. The Lez river and port waters can impact bathing water quality.
