The complex vascular system of tidal channels surrounds Île aux Oiseaux (Bird Island), creating a living network that delivers nutrients through the heart of Bassin d'Arcachon's protected wetlands. This 1,500-hectare ecological sanctuary, accessible only by boat and completely submerged during extreme high tides, hosts over 150 bird species annually and anchors the basin's environmental health with its extensive saltmarshes that filter pollutants and buffer against increasingly frequent storm surges linked to climate change.
