Maps of the network of protected marine areas in mainland France

The maps show the network of protected marine areas (AMP) in mainland France, used to inform users of sea conditions and to inform authorities via display boards in port offices or any other public location. A protected marine area is a defined area at sea intended to protect the natural environment on a long-term basis. The list of protected marine areas is not exhaustive and not all such areas are visible due to the chart scale.
