management plan for the three harbour territories
(Le Havre, Rouen, Paris).
The publication of Decree No 0095 of 23
April 2013 makes provision for the creation of an
inter-ministerial delegation for the development
of the Seine valley, placed under the authority of
the Prime Minister. The piloting of the governance of the Seine valley (a large territory extending from Cherbourg in the west to Dieppe in the
east and including the Paris region in the upstream
part of the Seine catchments) is placed clearly
under the French state and the three Regions
(Ile-de- France, Upper and Lower Normandy)
with an executive committee. The prefect of Upper
Normandy was designated as the coordinator for
a duration of 5 years. This committee drew up a
strategic plan for the management and the economic development of the Seine valley, without
any particular attribution of its environmental
management. Hence, this recent decree defi nes a
new perimeter for the Seine valley, as well as a
further new actor in the context of a plethora of
participants in the management of the Seine estuary. There is no information given about the links
with the other existing administrative, scientifi c
or technical structures such as the scientifi c committee of the Seine estuary.
Recently, new development projects have
involved the search for an alternative area for the
disposal of sediment dredged from Rouen
harbour outside the Seine estuary in the eastern
part of the Bay of Seine (Marmin et al. 2014 ), the
implementation of offshore wind farms off
Courseulles-sur-Mer in the central part of the Bay
of Seine and a new prospecting area for aggregate
extraction to the north of the Le Havre harbour
navigation channel. Each of these activities has
produced independent impact studies, and separate scientifi c and technical committees and
working groups have been created. Supplementary
