It’s easy to become an eco-tourist!
Be on holidays in Batz-sur-Mer, it’s spending successful holidays. If you want to enjoy forever the Ocean, the salt marshes, natural and heritage sites, take care of those places as well:
- Respect the place of your holiday as your home.
Collect your wastes, sort them out in the good tubs and in the appropriate spaces.
- Call the city hall in case of pollution.
- Control your consumption of natural’s resources (water, electricity…).Move with your own energy when you can, environmentally friendly (walks, bike, skate, rollers, bus, train…).
- Take care of the flowers, plants and animals, even the smallest living in the natural’s spaces around you.
Some additional advice:
- On the « côte sauvage » the wild cost, I try not to go at the edge of the water with light objects as they can fly away and pollute the sea and the beach.
- On the costal walks or in the Grey Dune, I respect the fences installed. Their goal is to protect the vegetation from the devastating stamping.
- In the salt marshes, I’m allowed to walk and discover the salt workers and their eyelets on the path done for it. I’m not allowed to come up to their works tools.
- If I’m shellfish picking, I’m aware of the fishing hours and of the right of consumption of the fish. Shellfish picking is subject to strict regulations. You can buy « calipêches » in the tourist office to check the shellfish size.
High tide mark
The ocean drops ashore many forms of natural (or not) material. The seaweeds, the shells, sponges, woods....are part of the high tide mark. Contrary to plastics, or fishing nets, they are not wastes and they are really important to maintain the stability of the beaches. They aboid the loss of sand, which smothered the eco-systems.
