| The yearly study of Ulva in Brittany aims at building a time series of its proliferations and corresponding nutrient loadings. The goal is to detect results of wilful loading reductions, and to distinguish them from natural variations. This first actually quantified study is the starting bench-mark of the process. Forty-five concerned sites were listed in 1997. They are nearly the same as in 1988, 1991 and 1994 (previous rough census). The Côtes d'Armor and then the Finistère are the most affected departments. The Morbihan is less and file et Vilaine not at all. Ulva biomass was precisely quantified in about fifteen locations during the growing season, along with nitrogen loadings of local streams (mostly nitrate). The fluxes of nitrogen - the limiting... |

| The 1998 survey of green tides on the Brittany coast was performed in the same way as that of 1997 in order to allow comparison. 11 includes an inventory ofail the concerned sites, and a precise assessment ofthirteen ofthem, the most loaded. On these ones, nitrogen fluxes were surveyed during the critical period, and the green seaweed stock on the beach and in the first waves was quantified. The climatic conditions were opposite between the two years, very dry in spring and summer 1997, and wet in 1998. The irradiance contrast was inverse, and less pronounced. The nitrate contents and mostly the flows were more important in 1998. They generated nitrogen fluxes about 3.3 times those of 1997. The total number of sites concerned in 1998 is clearly higher than... |

| Since 25 years, an increasing number of beaches and coves along the Britanny coast are invaded from spring until autumn by proliferating green macroalgae (free ulvae, fixed enteromorphae). This typical case of eutrophication, which has been well studied in the bays of Saint-Brieuc, Lannion, Douarnenez and Brest, could be explained by the conjunction of a natural containment of shallow water masses with a recent enrichment of them by nitrate river loadings. In the naturally confined sites, field measurements of summer biomass showed a good correlation with the spring nitrate river loadings ; furthermore, the summer rarefaction of these loadings explains the fall of the nitrogen content of the ulvae, which induces the summer stop of the algal growth. The... |
