Key
management issues |
Preserve
the marsh and associated soft water aquatic habitats through the enhancing
of extensive management and of biodiversity most favorable actions - Preserve
lagoon habiats and their associated biodiversity through a dynamic management
of the salted sectors - Preserve Lutra lutra by insuring the proper functionment
of hydraulic network + improve water quality + restore fish prey availability/resource
- Preserve habitat of Triturus cristatus by preserving a network of good quality
soft water habitats, not related to the hydraulic network - Preserve shore
and sand habitats and their biological potential - Preserve best examples
of habitat 1170 - Preserve the dynamic and diersity of halophilous habitats,
salt marshes and shores - Maintain sand dunes habitats by best managing natural
sand exchanges and public frequentation - Pursue the intergration of forest
habitats protection in public access management and by enhancing leaftrees
and biodiversity - Preserve the main habitat of Omphalodes littoralis. |
| Involving

Before
the project took place : Meetings with a neighboring Oyster porducer, with
farmers, and with hunters, This was to present the project idea and discuss
points of non agreement and points of agreements to develop. Then, a meeting
was organised with a first Management Commission (Communes, Oyster producers,
farmers, professionnals of tourism, hunters, LPO) so as to present the different
management options to take as the Natura 2000 contract. This site is encouraged
to make use of the Eurosite Natura
2000 Green Days Toolkit to provide information on Natura 2000 to
visitors. |
