Inventaire des sites potentiels pour l'aquaculture sur le littoral du Finistère. 1ère Phase. Annexe cartographique. Fascicule 1 : Aquaculture nouvelle

Producing the Inventory of Potential Sites for Aquaculture along the Finistère Shoreline was decided by the Département's Regional Council with the goal of integrating aquafarming in the best way possible into the variety of businesses that are based along the coastal zone. Aquafarming, in order for it to exist tomorrow, needs to be taken into account today as far as preservation of sites, and this must be done with two aspects in mind: - land, on shore; - water quality (which implies maritime and land constraints). In this context, the Regional Council has entrusted the Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Océans with a study that will make it possible to define the aquafarming potential of the Finistère shoreline. It was decided to split this study into two distinct phases: - The first one, more general in nature, looks within the existing data that has relevance for aquafarming. It also has a brief in-the-field reconnaissance and its objective is to determine the potential of the principal study zones, on a small scale. - The second one, detailed, will specify the sites themselves and their characteristics, and will proceed with on-site work, on a larger scale. The report presented here is the result of the first phase.
