According to a very high density of traffic, the French coastline has suffered from maritime pollution since the 1960's (Torrey Canyon, Amoco Cadiz, Erika, Ievoli Sun, Prestige, etc.). The risk of maritime pollution is changing nature and complexity due to increase and diversification of good transported by sea. In France, until a recent period, only the State staff was prepared to face the management of these events through contingency plans (POLMAR Mer plan for response at sea and POLMAR Terre plan for response on shoreline). The Civil Safety Modernisation Law of 13th August 2004 has restructured the civil safety trough a new ORSEC system which includes the creation of a local contingency plan in order to help local authorities to be prepared. In the same time, local and regional councils' duties have reinforced by the decentralization and the European Union has been more and more involved in maritime safety. That's why it is essential to promote a coherent and complementary approach between all these stakeholders. The “Infra POLMAR” process, lead by Vigipol since 2005 on the North coast of Brittany, aims at providing an operational response for all these stakes at local level.

This analysis is based on a research about partnership and local experiment helping farmers in difficulty towards a professional retraining in the West of France. Based on a qualitative survey by observations and interviews with a variety of stakeholders (farmers, elected officials, executives, social workers), this research aims to analyze the social situations of these farmers with the ecosystemic model, and to question the representations and practices of the different stakeholders involved in their support. The results show that the vulnerable situations of farmers are located at the intersection of the influences of a set of socio-cultural and spatial environments and individual trajectories punctuated by biographical events that are more or less weakening depending on the context. Faced with these situations and even if the stakeholders are aware of the influence of the environments, the institutional organisations and the social norms remain focused on the individual responsibilities.

In 2021, the appearance of octopus on Brittany's coasts has prompted numerous reactions and changes to local fishing activities. The impact on fisheries of the proliferation of this a priori competing animal (depredation on scallops, lobster, abalone, et cetera ) must be tempered by the economic windfall experienced by the entire industry, following the creation of international markets. The phenomenon also invites us to consider the environmental memory of the territories worked by fishermen and local industrials. The article analyzes some of the solutions that have been put in place, but above all the reactions of the fishermen of South Finistère, who are as anxious as they are fascinated by this socio-ecological upheaval.
