Our eco-commitments
La commune de Vendays-Montalivet met en œuvre différentes actions afin de développer le développement durable, sensibiliser les habitants et visiteurs à l’environnement, protéger notre nature et anticiper le futur pour nos enfants.
Our tide tanks
As part of the national "Trait bleu " program covering the Charente-Maritime and Nouvelle-Aquitaine coastlines, three tide bins have been installed on Montalivet: opposite the boat ramp, at the Monta Surf School plage sud & at the José Zabala beach access point.
These tide bins enable all volunteer citizens to take part in the collection of plastic waste washed up along the coastline, which is then collected by a social integration company based in Hourtin and sent to the Teo company for analysis, in order to compile data that can be used to understand coastal pollution. In 2022, 546 kg of waste were collected at Montalivet (mainly rubbish and plastic).
We're counting on you!
