 Western Mediterranean Sea region and its catchment (France)

There are many TC water bodies in the Western Mediterranean Sea region of France. Six coastal and four transitional water bodies are identified as heavily modified. In addition, 12 natural transitional water bodies are affected by HYMO pressures and impacts. Coastal HMWBs are located in bays along tourist resorts with ports (Sète, Marseille, Toulon and Nice). They are affected by coastal water management. Four of them suffer HYMO impacts - altered habitats. Four out of six coastal HMWBs have already reached good potential, while other two have moderate potential. Natural coastal water bodies are of good to moderate status with good status prevailing.
