A pilot maneuvers an ultralight aircraft over the complex channel system of Bassin d'Arcachon, where the low tide reveals an intricate network of waterways cutting through exposed sandbanks. This intimate aerial perspective, available only through personal aviation, provides critical real-time data for environmental researchers monitoring the basin's dynamic coastal processes, where tidal movements transport an estimated 2.2 million cubic meters of sand annually through the lagoon system and reshape the channels that local fishermen and oyster farmers have navigated for centuries.
