Gulf of Morbihan, Protected bay in Brittany, France
The gulf stretches across 20 kilometers from east to west, containing numerous islands and islets within its marine surface of 9,502 hectares.
The area received its Natura 2000 designation in June 1991, with additional protection measures implemented through a decree in December 2019.
The Regional Natural Park of the Gulf of Morbihan, established in October 2014, represents the second park in Brittany and the fiftieth in France.
During winter seasons, visitors can observe between 70,000 and 80,000 water birds, including whistling ducks and brent geese in their natural habitat.
The marine eelgrass beds in the gulf form the largest such ecosystem in France, covering 530 hectares of the protected marine environment.
