"The local actors who decide"
For Daniel Cueff and Gaël Le Meur, elected officials of the Brittany Region, "the concerns of all territories are common but the solutions are not the same everywhere.On the other hand, we are amazed to see the extent to which the territories have taken their problems in hand; nothing is imposed on them, it is the local actors who decide. For the mayors of Paimpol, Plouha and Pleubian, "the blue economy brings people together and we will make sure that this handicap of climate change becomes a strength," according to Xavier Compain, first mayor of Plouha.
