| Abstract |
This article discusses methods for the collection, transport and treatment of green algae that overrun the coast of Brittany during summer. Their prompt removal is necessary because of the dangerous gases such as ammonia or hydrogen sulfide that may be emitted during their decomposition. In particular, methods of collection, composting and agricultural spreading are described. |
