The educational message about the sea and the coast by Region Bretagne

 

With almost 3,000 km of coast, the challenges of the sea and the coast have a particular resonance in Brittany. The economic importance of the maritime activities, the environmental, cultural and tourist importance of the sea and the coast, necessitate strong and coherent educational action. The coherence of the varied and numerous educational actions relating to the sea and the coast, constitute the main condition for the collective appropriation of the maritime challenges. It is essential to make a collective affirmation of the importance of these challenges and the necessity to develop an integrated approach to dealing with them. It must facilitate concerted action and permeate all fields and all populations. An education in the sea and the coast must aim to build a maritime conscience to foster social awareness, and to change individual and collective behaviour.

In Lorient, several structures offer actions and visits to facilitate the appropriation of the maritime world for citizens of all ages.
