Environmental problems caused by TBT in France: Assessment, regulations, prospects

Abstract The sea water pollution resulting from the tributyltin (TBT) released by antifouling paints has had serious consequences on the oyster production in a number of bays along the French coastline. Effects of this pollution on oyster growth and reproduction, as well as its economic impact in the Bay of Arcachon are reviewed. The influence of the ban on TBT use in antifouling paints on the recovery of the oyster stock is discussed in an attempt to reflect on the strategy required to protect the marine environment.
