Watshishou migratory bird sanctuary

The Wastishou Migratory Bird Sanctuary^[2] includes Pontbriand, Jalobert^[3] and Pashashibou bays, all islands, islets and emerging rocks in the area, as well as the offshore waters over a distance of several kilometers from the coast. In fact, the waters cover almost 90% of the refuge's surface area. Vegetation is limited to a few species of moss and lichens, because the terrestrial part of the refuge is mainly made up of rocky outcrops.^[4]^[5]
