Water

Coastal bathing water in northern France, subject to tidal influences and currents. Located along the English Channel coast.

Location

Bray-Dunes commune. Two bathing zones: Poste de Secours and Perroquet.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified based on bacteriological parameters (Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci). Both sites have documented episodes of contamination requiring beach closures. Quality classification is determined through daily analyses during the bathing season.

Risks

Potential pollution sources include collective wastewater systems, urban surface runoff, industrial activities, agricultural activities, tourism and recreational activities, and transboundary inputs from Belgium. Short-term pollution episodes result in beach closures.
