65,000 copies of a new ruler for fishing on foot have been published and will be distributed on the beaches and in the tourist offices of the Breton coast.

These strips, financed by the French Office for Biodiversity and the donors of the operation  The Superpowers of the Ocean  (supported by France Nature Environnement), recall the regulations for shore fishing in Brittany: size and quotas by species but also the areas to avoid to preserve sensitive coastal environments.

They will be available in tourist offices.

Given the concentrations of lipophilic phytoplankton toxins observed and the associated health risks, recreational shellfish fishing is temporarily banned in the Bay of Lannion by prefectoral decrees dated September 13 and 20, 2024.

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.
