Following the heavy rains of recent days, certain sanitation networks are likely to discharge untreated water into the environment.
There is therefore a risk of contamination of coastal waters and shellfish.
From Sunday 27 to Wednesday 30 of October takes place the last tide with the most important tidal coefficients.
Therefore, the Health Agency of Brittany renews its health recommendations because shellfish gathering in unsanitary or temporarily contaminated areas can have health consequences:
The Brittany Health Agency and Ifremer publish the 2019 edition of sanitary control reports of shellfish gathering sites in Côtes d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan. These reports review the sanitary quality of beds monitored in these three departments over the period 2016-2018.
Find out the reports in the "Studies & publications" section.
From Saturday 28 September to Monday 1 of October takes place the second equinox tide of the year, where tidal coefficients are the most important of the year.
Shellfish gatherers are particularly waiting for the equinox tides as the sea withdraws far away. This is an opportunity to explore areas that are generally little discovered but also a particularly good time for shellfish gathering.
