Cleaning of Bourget lake - Savoie

Under the impetus of the association “La Passerelle, du Lac au Lagon” and at the initiative of Maud Fontenoy, Deeper Blue is preparing, with a small group of Savoyards, a day of cleaning around Lac du Bourget on Saturday 7 August 2010.

A set of enthusiasts and associations have come to support this initiative and the day promises to be memorable.

The director of the Aquarium du Lac in Aix les Bains, Valérie Malbrunot, will be at the geographical center of the operation: the appointment is given to the volunteers on Saturday morning from 9 am on the esplanade
of the Le Bourget aquarium.

From there, three "patrols" will be distributed to the cleaning sites, probably a first on the Sierroz and a second towards the port of Tillet. The third group will head towards the shores of Bourget-du-Lac, transported by the boats of the Aix-les-Bains boaters club association, chaired by Mr. Rubeaud.

These groups will be supervised by agents and engineers from the Conservatory of Natural Heritage of Savoy including Mickaël Aurias and Frédéric Biamino. What offer an additional interest as for the educational aspect of the operation.

Another action will be carried out by the “Deeper Blue” association. Delphine and Cyril, its founders, will host an original cleaning with masks, fins and snorkels to observe the seabed, not far from the port of Tillet. A boat will accompany them to collect the macro-waste that rests on the
lake funds at this location.

The Guidon du Bourget du Lac club, SICAMS and other volunteers will be part of the driving forces behind the action.

The association "La Passerelle, du Lac au Lagon" will offer, with the help of Jean-Pierre Jacob, chef of the restaurant Le Bateau Ivre in Bourget-du-Lac, an opening to New Caledonia by offering to taste a bougna on the esplanade in front of the Aquarium. This traditional Kanak dish
will be produced with the collaboration of the chef, interested in everything related to the quality of the waters of Lac du Bourget and its fauna. The boaters club's proposal to transport the restaurant owner by boat between the aquarium and his establishment will add a "nautical" edge to the operation.
