Synopsis

Rockfalls, landslides, and marine submersion harm the natural heritage of Normandy, France. The coast, which is 640 kilometers long, is a mismatch of pebble beaches, chalk cliffs, and large areas of sand.

Given these ominous phenomena, many elected officials are trying to launch protection works. Some towns have seen repeated severe weather that threatens what makes the uniqueness of the region. Even the D-Day beaches are not immune.

Furthermore, storms and erosion are exacerbated by human activities.
