COTENTIN, THE SEA EFFECT

The grim realities of climate change

An episode from the series EARTH ON EDGE

Synopsis

With 350 kilometers of coastline, this small piece of France surrounded by water lives at the mercy of the tides and storms.

In recent years, extreme weather events have become more frequent, battering the western face of the peninsula. Between erosion and marine submersion, many towns are in danger.

Discussions are underway to make the Cotentin a benchmark.
