Retrouvez-nous à l’Office de Tourisme de Saint-Brevin, quartier de l’Océan, place René Guy Cadou, pour une balade utile à notre environnement !
Accompagnés des membres de Surfrider Loire-Atlantique, gants et sacs en main, arpentez la plage tranquillement et ouvrez l’œil !

Repérez les filets bleus ou verts de pêche en plastique, les mégots et autres sachets si colorés mais si dangereux pour la faune et la flore de nos côtes.
