Plouarzel, Brittany, France. The bathing water site is known as Plage de Porsévigné or Plage de Pors Tévigné.

Water Quality

Microbiological water quality has been monitored since 1994 using E. coli and enterococci as indicator bacteria. Quality classification follows European Directive 2006/7/CE standards. Data show 90th and 95th percentile calculations for compliance assessment. Monitoring results indicate variation in water quality influenced by rainfall and tidal conditions.

Risks

Rainfall events influence E. coli concentration in bathing waters. Tidal conditions affect water quality. Fecal contamination sources are present in the catchment area.
