Vendée – Saint Gilles Croix de Vie
Date de dépôt 03/01/11Pays : France - Département : Vendée - Ville : Saint Gilles Croix de Vie - Plage : Grande plage
Objet
Every other year between October and April, silt from the marina is sucked up and disposed directly onto the large beach of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie via a custom-made canalisation system. This has led to a ban on shellfish picking and on all watersports activities around the site during those months. All users of the site denounce this ban and the bad water quality ensuing from those operations.
État des lieux
Several letters have been sent out to the prefecture, the subprefecture and to all the competent authorities to alert them to the situation. The Keeper is busy informing and mobilising citizens, and collecting further information and witness reports from residents and water users. In January 2012, Surfrider entered into talks with the president of the Committee for the Protection of Nature and Places of Interest, who is soliciting our help to resolve this issue.
