Atelier international sur la gestion du littoral et des zones côtières. Beg Meil - Bretagne. 30 mai au 4 juin 2010

During the visits (the first 3 days) the group was divided into 2 to facilitate exchanges, organized the various visits and meetings on issues identical but in different places: one group to Country Bigouden (called group Sein) and other towards the country of Lorient and Fouesnant (Groix group).

  • Sunday 30 May: the issue of the islands, what development?

Why maintain and develop the primary activities on the islands? For the island of Sein and the island of Groix.

Taking a look  on the islands is interesting since they represent in a very small space all or part of the activities on the continent, and allow to highlight the role of the primary activities in the maintenance of local populations and a life on the island. We visited two islands: Ile de Sein with a population mainly of fishermen and the island of Groix with agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and shellfish ... try revalorizanse. These islands could have made another choice for development, tourism ... but it is not impossible, is not unique.

  • Monday 31 May: decline of primary activities on the littoral, which alternatives, which initiatives?

This day was intended to highlight: the context of fisheries and agriculture in Britain and the complexity of organized sectors, major social changes and initiatives of individuals in the conservation of coastal living.

  • Tuesday 1st: which are the stakes of water quality on littoral territories?

Some activities are highly dependent on water quality to develop. The meetings helped to identify problems and impacts on the productivity of the environment, highlighting the challenge of maintaining good environmental status of these media at the land and sea ... to analyze collective approaches that try in the context of productivity provide the means to reclaim these environment.
