description Coastal wetlands have undergone major changes in the west of France, particularly since the 18th century, and are now undergoing processes to protect their natural character. This paper, the result of doctoral research, examines the natural heritage of three Atlantic coastal wetlands in the context of global changes. Management documents and a qualitative survey of 27 interviews with nature conservationists and site users show that these protected heritages are the result of a convergence of ecological, political and social realities. These heritages are now recognized and appropriated by managers and users. Secondly, an analysis of the interviews highlights the different visions of these landscapes and reveals the controversy over the choice of reference states for these protected natural areas and their future evolution. These controversies have their origins in the plurality of social representations of nature held by users and managers, and in the influence of the paradigms surrounding the protection of natural environments, and the environmental history of the sites studied.
