Natural heritage 

From Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont to the Pointe de Hourdel, the Bay of the Somme is formed by the estuaries of the Somme and the Maye. The two rivers thus flow into the English Channel. The site is made up of two backgrounds. Slikkes are mud flats covered by the tide twice a day. The mollières are only covered during high tides. This marriage of fresh and salt water offers an ideal ecosystem for the development of numerous fish. The bay is known for its extraordinary ecological wealth, and in particular ornithological. Sedentary and migratory birds are visible in particular from the marshes, dunes and reed beds of the reserve of the Parc du Marquenterre. But the Baie de Somme is also famous for its seal colonies, which holidaymakers like to observe in their natural environment.
