Hillion, June 23, 2017.
The Bécassine puppet accompanies André Ollivro on each of his awareness campaigns. A symbol of the region, André wants to alert a wide audience to the dangers of green algae and raise awareness among local authorities, who, in his opinion, are not proactive enough on this issue.
André intends to use powerful symbols and highly visual communication to make a lasting impression.

Hillion (Côtes-d’Armor), June 22, 2017.
Portrait of André Ollivro, former executive at EDF-GDF, environmental activist against green algae (Ulva Amoricana) in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, and co-president of the "Stop the Green Tides" association in Hillion, near Saint-Brieuc, Brittany.
"I have committed myself to saving victims, I have put people in legal situations, and I want to find all the arguments necessary to give lawyers the strength to secure recognition for the victims of the green tides in the Bay of Hillion, Brittany. I also want to encourage reflection on changing today's agricultural practices, which generate these green tides, so that our future generations can live in peace with the environment.
"I was fortunate to work in a public company where I learned to be a responsible citizen." I benefited from the advantages acquired by my predecessors and from collective agreements that allowed me to retire at 53. I now want to give back to society what it has given me throughout my professional career by seeing this vital health battle through to the end.

Morieux, Côtes-d’Armor. July 27, 2019.
A man walks his horse on the beach.
Green algae have washed up on the beach at Anse de Morieux in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc (Brittany). The beach is closed by municipal decree due to the presence of green algae considered dangerous. Once they decompose in the sun, the algae can release hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas toxic to humans and other living beings.

Hillion. Gouessant Estuary. June 21, 2017.
Dried green algae in the Gouessant estuary at Hillion, which flows into the sea. In September 2016, a runner died of cardiac arrest caused by respiratory failure at this spot, after trying to rescue his dog trapped in the mud of green algae. Authorities believe he died while trying to free himself from the mud.
During spring tides, the algae cling to the banks of the Gouessant. The whitish patches show the accumulation of dried algae due to the river's relatively calm flow during the summer months.

Guingamp, June 22, 2017.
Claude and Jeanne Morfroisse pay their respects at the grave of their son Thierry in the La Chesnay cemetery in Guingamp. Thierry Morfroisse died at the age of 48 while transporting green algae to the storage depot in Launay-Lantic on July 22, 2009.
Since 2009, the family has been fighting alongside local associations to denounce the green tide scandal in Brittany and to prove in court that their son was poisoned at his workplace after inhaling hydrogen sulfide (H2S) released by the decomposing algae.
"We want the truth to come out. We're not asking for anything else. Just the truth. It has to be recorded somewhere. We never want to see that again. But it will happen again if nothing is done." One day, a child will be poisoned, and that will be even more shocking.
For eight years, the Morfoisse family has been fighting to have their death recognized as a work-related accident while transporting decomposing green algae.
In June 2017, the Rennes court ordered the reopening of the proceedings at the hearing on October 19, 2017, to rule on the merits of the dispute between Thierry Morfoisse's heirs and the CPAM (French Health Insurance Fund) regarding the existence of a causal link between his death and his professional activity, which exposed him to green algae.

Saint-Brieuc, June 22, 2017.
Portrait of André Ollivro, co-president of the Stop Green Algae association, in the port of Le Légué in Saint-Brieuc.
Following an article in a regional newspaper about the foul odors in Saint-Brieuc, André organized a demonstration in the port of Le Légué. Having invited journalists, he aimed to prove that the bad smells originated from the decomposition of green algae, which release large quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This toxic gas is believed to be the cause of numerous skin problems and cases of death from Ulva amoricana poisoning.

Saint-Brieuc, June 22, 2017
At the port of Le Légué in Saint-Brieuc, green algae are brought in by the tide and then deposited at the harbor entrance. They decompose in the heat, turning into mud and potentially releasing toxic gases by accumulating hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
Green algae need nitrates and sunlight to thrive. The Bay of Saint-Brieuc is prone to "green tides" due to the high nitrate levels in the region. Nitrates are present in nitrogen fertilizers and manure used for agricultural spreading. Intensive agriculture uses more nitrates than plants consume. The excess is then released into the environment. The region's watershed-like geography allows this excess nitrate to flow into the sea via rivers.

Port of Légué, Saint-Brieuc, June 22, 2017
Yves-Marie Le Lay, president of the Sauvegarde du Trégor association and co-president of Halte au marées vertes (Stop the Green Tides).
Following an article in Ouest France about the foul odors in the port of Légué in Saint-Brieuc, Yves-Marie Le Lay conducted a survey to prove that in certain areas, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is present in the mud produced by the decomposition of the green algae that are arriving in massive quantities. This year, the water level is particularly high in Brittany. Combined with nitrates discharged into the sea by farms, this explains the proliferation of green algae on the coast, as the heatwave promotes their decomposition and thus increases the risk of hydrogen sulfide gas released by the algae as they dry.
At low doses, H2S causes nausea and dizziness and gives off a rotten egg smell. In high doses, it can cause skin problems or even fatal poisoning.

Hillion (CĂ´tes-d'Armor, Brittany). June 22, 2017.
In the Anse de Morieux (Saint-Brieuc Bay, CĂ´tes-d'Armor), green algae (Ulva amoricana) are accumulating as the tide goes out. This phenomenon usually occurs starting in July with the arrival of warmer weather. But this year, environmental activists are concerned about its early arrival in May and are expecting a green tidal surge this year.
