Water

Marine bathing water in Brittany. The study area encompasses the Port Lenn bathing zone and surrounding coastal waters subject to tidal influences.

Location

Arzon commune, Brittany, France. The bathing zone is situated at Port Lenn beach in southern Arzon.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored by ARS (regional health authority) under European Directive 2006/7/CE. Monitoring results from 2008-2017 are documented. Contamination episodes are influenced by rainfall, with fecal bacteria sources identified from stormwater runoff, wastewater networks, and port-related discharges.

Risks

Contamination risks linked to rainfall-driven stormwater runoff. Stormwater outflows from Port Lenn, Grande Cale, and Bilgroix areas identified as pollution sources. Wastewater network defects and port activities present potential pollution sources. Rainfall thresholds trigger contamination events.
