Location

The bathing water profile covers seven beaches in the Dieppe Maritime area: Saint-Aubin-sur-mer, Quiberville, Sainte-Marguerite-sur-mer, Pourville (Hautot-sur-mer), Dieppe-plage, Dieppe-Puys, and Saint-Martin-en-Campagne. These beaches are located on the coast of northern France.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored through bacteriological testing at seven designated beaches. The profile includes monitoring of mussel bed quality at three locations: Bracquemont, Sainte-Marguerite-sur-mer/Vasterival, and Penly. Studies on macro-algae, phytoplankton, and amoebae proliferation are conducted.

Risks

Potential pollution sources identified include wastewater treatment systems, agricultural activities, livestock farming, industrial facilities (agro-food industries, a rendering plant, and the Penly Nuclear Power Station), waste management, bird populations, the Port of Dieppe, and karst circulation. The area experiences seasonal tourism with associated pressures.
