Dear Contrib’Citizen,<\/p>\n
This summer, the site will offer you to analyze different territories based on water and its use. This last element is prized for its playfulness in France. Its industrial stake unfortunately remains disdained, whether in the maritime domain – while all of France’s marine areas are the second in the world, just after the USA – or even in the fluvial sector with a potential that remains underused. Anyway, water, in addition to being a source of life, allows the development of entire economic fields such as sport\/leisure, tourism and international trade. But this element, and its direct or indirect anthropogenic exploitation, also involves risks: floods (as we have seen in various previous articles) but also erosions. To begin with, the re-edition of the article of last August 18th will allow readers to (re)immerse themselves in this problem of water erosion: for the contrib.city pioneers, a little revision never does wrong!<\/p>\n
In the texts to be published next, CC will show examples of erosion from different places: marine and river environments. The wear can come either directly from water, or from human activity linked to this resource: for example, a pretty Breton coast will have to both deal with the wear of the waves, especially during storms, and with visits from tourists who will use the coastal paths themselves. It will also be observed that the failure to take this natural phenomenon into account can lead to risks for human territorial development.<\/p>\n
We will see, once again, that the question of floods can completely be coupled with that of a pandemic, as is the case in Mumbay.<\/p>\n
Of course, contrib.city would like to suggest avenues of reflection so that we can manage each of our territories well, especially at the local level. CC comments<\/em> function takes on its full meaning, especially today (Bastille Day) when we celebrate Human Rights, including Freedom of Expression: each reader is cordially invited to react, to offer his point of view and possible ideas and to use and embellish, in a harmonious way, our Blue Planet. So beautiful, so big and so complex and at the same time so fragile and so small, lost in the Milky Way.<\/p>\n Contrib’City wishes you a good read and a good trip!<\/p>\n ——————————<\/p>\n Because of its insularity, this territory of only 310 hectares, but with more than 17 km of indented coastline, enjoys a very favorable situation in terms of tourism [1]<\/sup><\/a>1. Two sites present well the different touristic attractions of the Ile-aux-Moines (Monks’ Island<\/em> in French): http:\/\/izenahgoud.fr<\/span> Gilles Ari\u00e9 (formerly the editor of the municipal gazette) and http:\/\/www.mairie-ileauxmoines.fr\/accueil\/decouverte\/tourisme<\/span><\/span><\/span>
