Location

Four bathing beaches located in Normandy, France: Fécamp, Yport, Étretat, and Tilleul-La Poterie Cap d'Antifer.

Water Quality

Water quality classifications tracked for all four beaches. Fécamp beach shows variations in bathing quality ratings over time. Yport beach quality ratings documented with evolution data. Étretat beach quality classifications recorded with temporal variations. Tilleul-La Poterie beach quality ratings tracked. Bacterial contamination identified as primary pollution concern, with E. coli quantified as key indicator. Pollution sources include collective sewerage systems, non-collective sanitation systems, stormwater discharge, coastal erosion, agricultural activities, and a landfill near Fécamp.

Risks

Bacterial pollution from sewerage system overflows, stormwater runoff, and agricultural sources. Risk of disinfection system failure at treatment plants. Coastal erosion transferring contaminants to littoral zone. Landfill proximity to Fécamp beach poses contamination risk.
