- 20 Minutes (@ 20Minutes) May 25, 2020In Fouesnant in the south of Finistère, the mayor of the town took the lead on May 11 by taking a municipal decree prohibiting access to certain sectors until the end of the summer. "Many species of birds have settled on deserted beaches or paths, in addition to their usual breeding areas," he explains on the site of the town. They have built their nest there, often on the ground, and brooding is underway. ”

To protect in particular the ringed plover, a rare and protected species, Roger Le Goff has therefore decided to prohibit all pedestrian and cyclist traffic on a path along the White Sea, a white sand lagoon forming a small inland sea. For the same reasons, several beaches are also prohibited from entering the area until August 31.
The decree also aims to protect the flora from dog excrement which "enriches the naturally poor soil of the dunes and thus threatens the dune vegetation protected by the European Habitat Fauna Flora directive", indicates the Breton municipality.
