CASE description

The Coast of the Bouches du Rhone (120 km) is characterised by calanques (rocky shore), urban, industrial zone, delta, sandy beaches. In the dyked area of the Camargue, the sea has gained the upper hand, in part because modification in the hydrological regime and because incursions by the sea are increasing (due to subsidence and the rising level of the Mediterranean).

  • take appropriate measures to preserve coastal ecosystem services.
  • manage interactions between coastal conflicting usages.
