This document is a vulnerability profile for bathing waters at two beaches in the commune of Sérignan, France. It was created in April 2011 to assess water quality, identify contamination sources, and establish management procedures for safe bathing. The profile addresses bacteriological quality, potential pollution sources from urban networks and waterway outlets, and other health risks including phytoplankton proliferation, macro-algae growth, and jellyfish.

Water

Coastal marine bathing waters of Sérignan, located on the Mediterranean coast of southern France.

Location

Sérignan, France. Two bathing zones are assessed: Sérignan Plage Nature and Sérignan Plage.

Water Quality

The profile includes bacteriological data monitoring and simulated quality classifications for both bathing zones. Water quality assessment is based on daily bacteriological concentrations, monthly geometric means, and percentile evolution analysis. Potential contamination sources include urban stormwater networks, wastewater systems, river outlets, pleasure ports, and general maritime navigation.

Risks

Identified risks include proliferation of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria, macro-algae growth, eutrophication factors (nutrients and physical conditions), and jellyfish (cnidarians). General bathing risks also encompass drowning, leptospirosis in freshwater, infections, gastroenteritis from contaminated waters, and skin infections.
