Green algae in Brittany: A challenge for Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Develop technologies to capture nitrates directly from rivers, such as biological filters.

Support interdisciplinary projects to understand the interactions between farming practices, climate, and coastal ecosystems.

Conclusion

Green algae blooms in Brittany exemplify the challenges facing coastal areas, where human pressures on ecosystems demand coordinated, sustainable responses. Current solutions, while partially effective, demonstrate that ICZM is a vital lever for reconciling economic development and environmental conservation.

By strengthening regulations, valorizing collected resources, and mobilizing local actors through participatory governance, Brittany can transform this issue into an opportunity. With appropriate measures, the region could become a model of innovation and resilience for coastal areas facing similar challenges.
