Port Morvan is a bathing beach located in the commune of Planguenoual in Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany. The beach is subject to regular water quality monitoring and vulnerability profiling to assess pollution risks. The beach experiences tidal variations and is influenced by rainfall events and stormwater discharge. Water quality monitoring has been conducted since 2006 to track microbiological parameters and assess sanitary conditions.

Water

Marine bathing water on the Breton coast. Bathymetric data is available for the study zone. Tidal currents are present in the area. Wave heights are measured at the site. The beach experiences significant tidal variation and is subject to Atlantic oceanic conditions.

Location

Planguenoual commune, Côtes-d'Armor department, Brittany, France. The beach is referenced on official maps and is part of the Penthièvre coastal area.

Water Quality

Water quality classification data available from 2006 to 2016. Microbiological monitoring conducted by regional health authority (ARS). Shellfish harvesting zones monitored through REMI network (IFREMER). Phytoplankton and phycotoxin surveillance conducted through REPHY network (IFREMER). Pollution sources include collective sanitation systems, non-collective sanitation, and stormwater discharge networks.

Risks

Potential pollution from rainfall events and stormwater discharge. Fecal pollution risks identified and correlated with rainfall, temporal distance from rain events, tidal coefficients, and sampling dates. Macro-algae proliferation potential assessed. Pollution sources include both sanitation systems and runoff networks.
