In late August and early September, towns such as Le Pouliguen and Pornic began public consultations to revise Local Urbanism Plans (PLU). These processes involve territorial diagnosis and the definition of sustainable development strategies. Specific goals include managing coastal erosion, preserving architectural heritage, protecting wetlands, and adjusting building regulations to favor primary residences. Following these planning efforts, municipalities are also organizing community-led environmental actions.
