Areas classified into four groups (A to D) depending on the extent of microbiological contamination and pollution, resulting from the presence of toxic or harmful compounds of natural origin or released into the environment, that could have a negative effect on human health or on the taste of the shellfish. The safety classification of the areas defined by precise geographical boundaries is set out by order of the Departmental Prefect on proposal from the Departmental Director of Maritime Affairs after collaboration with the Departmental Director of Health and Social Affairs. In case of temporary contamination of an area and depending on the nature and level of pollution, the prefect, on proposal from the Director of Veterinary Services, and after collaboration with the Departmental Director of Health and Social Affairs, may either give more stringent terms and conditions for its use or suspend some or all kinds of activities. These decisions shall immediately be transmitted to the services, municipalities or professional organizations concerned.
