Coastal residential areas and additional industries are threatened by the mountain, coastal erosion is curbed and submergence is monitored. I urgently need help, details about Alain Hénaff, conference director at the University of Brest.

The sea level is 1.1 meters at 2,100 meters altitude, see GIEC, and sweep over the coasts, according to the Breton notice.
