Naéco is committed to the preservation of the waters of Brittany
At Naéco Hostels, we place the preservation of the environment at the heart of our values.
We have decided to become a patron of the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne, recognized for its commitment to the protection of aquatic ecosystems. This illustrates our common desire to promote sustainable tourism and to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving water resources.
The History of the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne
Founded in 1969 under the name of Association for the Protection of Salmonids in Brittany (APPSB), the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne was born from the initiative of fishermen and naturalists concerned about the alarming decrease in salmon populations in Breton rivers.
From its beginnings, the APPSB has been mobilized for the protection of aquatic environments, carrying out actions to raise awareness and defend the environment. In 1983, the association broadened its scope of action to encompass all issues related to water and natural environments, thus adopting the name Eau et Rivières de Bretagne.
Over the decades, the association has developed a recognized expertise in the sustainable management of water resources, actively involved in river restoration, wetland protection and pollution control programs. She has also played a crucial role in public education and awareness, including through publications, school interventions and citizen mobilization campaigns.
Today, with more than 1,600 members, 25 employees and 6 delegations in Brittany, the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne remains a key player in the protection of the environment in France, continuing to defend the quality of water and aquatic environments in the face of contemporary challenges.
Shared Values with Naéco Hostels
At Naéco, we share with the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne a common vision of the need to act for a world where the sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems is paramount. As a player in sustainable tourism, we are committed to raising awareness among our guests about the importance of preserving water resources.
The fight against plastic pollution, the protection of wetlands and environmental education are at the heart of our concerns. This is why the Naéco#Responsables association organises beach clean-up actions or awareness-raising actions on the preservation of the environment.
More than a sponsorship, a Partnership for Concrete Actions
In collaboration with the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne, we will plan a series of concrete actions aimed at strengthening our common commitment:
- Beach clean-up organisation: We will organise clean-up operations on beaches, rivers and ponds, mobilising our teams, our guests and the local communities around our Naéco destinations.
- Educational Workshops: At the end of each clean walk, experts from the association will lead educational sessions to deepen knowledge on aquatic biodiversity, the impacts of microplastics and the importance of wetlands.
- Raising awareness of Sustainable Tourism: We will raise awareness of the sustainable management of natural resources in our hospitality programs, encouraging our guests to adopt environmentally friendly practices throughout their stay.
Mobilization: Acting Together for the Planet
We strongly believe that collective action is essential to address today's environmental challenges. We encourage our hosts, local communities and all citizens to join us in this journey:
- Participation in beach clean-ups: Join us during our clean-up operations to contribute directly to the protection of aquatic ecosystems and the fight against plastic pollution.
- Citizen Engagement: Become an ambassador for the preservation of water resources by adopting eco-responsible practices and raising awareness of environmental issues.
- Support for Local Initiatives: Support the actions of the Association Eau et Rivières de Bretagne by joining the association, participating in its events or making a donation to support its projects for the restoration of natural environments.
