Owing to the hazardous conditions at sea, the high density of shipping and a number of shipwrecks in recent years, the French authorities have introduced special search and rescue operations which include vessels such as the Abeille Bourbon as well as a number of large lifeboats in the ports of Douarnenez, Camaret, Le Conquet, Molène and Ushant.

Fishing, though less important than in the past, is still practiced especially through the ports of Le Conquet, Douarnenez, Camaret and Brest where catches range from crabs to sardines and monkfish.
