An Ecological Continuity Classification corresponds to all or part of a course or channel identified in a stop taken by the Basin Coordinating Prefect pursuant to Article L.214-17 of the Environmental Code. The classification into list 1 (1° of § I of Article L. 214-17 of the Environmental Code) is intended to protect certain rivers from degradation and allows a long-term preservation objective to be displayed. They cancel, replace, and complete the ranking in ≪ reserved rivers ≫ under the 1919 Act. List 2 (2° of § 1 of Article L. 214-17 of the Environmental Code), annuls, replaces and supplements the concept ‘classified rivers’ under L. 432-6 of the Environmental Code must make it possible to ensure quickly the compatibility of existing structures with the objectives of ecological continuity. The founding regulatory text of an Ecological Continuity Classification is the classification decree signed by the Basin Coordinating Prefect in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article R.214-10 of the Environmental Code providing for departmental consultation of classification projects before validation by the Basin Coordinating Prefect. The classification of rivers in respect of the crossing of migrants is carried out under 2° (list 2) of Article L.214-17-I of the Environmental Code for the criterion “courses for which it is necessary to ensure the circulation of migratory fish (amphihalins or not)”. The data relate to the decrees of the coordinator prefects of basins, 10 July 2012 for the Loire-Bretagne basin and 04 December 2012 for the Seine-Normandie basin.
