Water

Coastal bathing waters in the Breton Strait (Pertuis Breton), including ocean beaches and an estuary lagoon. The seabed consists of sandy and silty sediments with varying bathymetry.

Location

Aiguillon-sur-Mer and Faute-sur-Mer in the Poitevin Marsh region of France. The study area includes four main bathing beaches and a lagoon.

Water Quality

Water quality surveillance included microbiological monitoring and phytoplankton/phycotoxin networks (REPHY). Pollution sources identified include collective wastewater treatment, non-collective sanitation, stormwater discharges, shellfish farming, recreational fishing, and camping activities.

Risks

Potential pollution sources include wastewater discharge points, stormwater network outfalls, non-collective sanitation systems, and overflow points from treatment systems. Shellfish farming areas present in adjacent waters.
