Question 2698 — biodiversity

Summary

Mr. Damien Girard draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention to the road work projects that could have harmful consequences on the Grand Site de France Wild Dunes of Gâvres in Quiberon. An exceptional natural space and true reservoir of biodiversity, this site, certified since 2018, extends over 35 kilometers of dunes. Furthermore, these dunes and ponds de Gâvres have been classified since 1976 under the law of May 2, 1930 and have been a Natura 2000 site since 2002. For decades, the surroundings of the tombolo de Gâvres and its 6 kilometers of road as well as the surroundings of gray dunes, have suffered from overcrowding: cars, kitesurfers, fishermen, hikers... This situation gives rise to a very large number of conflicts of uses. Despite several bans, the state does not seem succeed in regulating or channeling these flows which harm the site. The Gâvres isthmus is also threatened by continued coastal erosion which could lead Gâvres to become an island. In this context, the project to repair departmental road 158 and the project to create a “greenway” for cyclists calls into question local stakeholders and landowners who have not been consulted. These two projects are considered as incompatible with the law of August 8, 2016 for the reconquest of biodiversity and landscapes by the inspectors of the General Inspectorate of the Environment and Sustainable Development (IGEDD). No study of car traffic, road safety, solid environmental assessment or overall mobility plan is attached to the file. The social utility of these projects must be understood by taking into account the issues safety, risk management and environmental protection. The opinion on the IGEDD project specifies these elements: "as it stands, the demonstration of the compatibility of the project with law 2016-1087 for the reconquest of biodiversity, nature and landscapes and with the provisions applicable to Natura 2000 sites has not been provided." He therefore asks him if there are plans to ask the authorities and in particular the prefect of Morbihan, a suspension of the project allowing the necessary studies to be carried out under satisfactory conditions and to carry out respectful consultation with all the stakeholders concerned.
