Trévières and Vierville oppose the marine culture project

The municipal council of Trévières, meeting on a Friday under the presidency of Mayor Jean-Pierre Richard, unanimously adopted a very unfavorable opinion on the marine culture project near Omaha Beach.

The elected officials first invoked the preservation of a place of memory of the Landing. In their argument, they recalled the American soldiers who died on June 6, 1944 and believed that this classified site should remain as it is. They also defended the possibility, for the inhabitants of the coast and the hinterland as well as for vacationers, to continue swimming there in summer.

The council feared that the nuisance attributed to the mussel parks would compromise seaside tourism and, with it, the tourist services and facilities of the region. He also considered these facilities incompatible with the "Wind Sports" project and with the presence of many pleasure boats on this part of the coast.

In Vierville-sur-Mer, directly concerned by the project, the eleven elected officials gathered on Friday evening also all voted for a very unfavorable opinion.
