"Un suivi de l’utilisation des baies endiguées du réservoir de La Grande 1 par la sauvagine a été effectué en 2009.
L’endiguement de deux baies (BE-05 et BE-07) fait partie des mesures d’atténuation attribuées à cet ouvrage hydroélectrique.
La description de l’utilisation des baies endiguées par la sauvagine et sa comparaison avec celle de six baies non endiguées du réservoir de La Grande 1, constituent l’un des principaux objectifs de ce suivi."

: I really wouldn't consider using "dammed bay" - it sounds ridiculous // because "damned" (identical pronunciation) is a swearword (albeit rather tame nowadays) e.g. "these damned flies!"

Thank you for the comments, you make sense personally at this point, but please kindly note that "dammed bay" does exist in multiple sources, do they all think of "damned ..."?

protected bay
I think I would first call it a "bay protected by dykes" then shorted that to "protected bay".

I actually live in a "village endigué" and I haven't found a neat way to describe it to other English speakers. I always refer to it as a "village surrounded by dykes" Embankments would be an alternative but I prefer dykes.

: if we build a dam in the bay, as everyone knows especially in sense of environment protection, it's not only and seldome to "protect" the bay. Sorry for expressing my doubt. What we need is to put an objective translation but not subjective/personal one..

I totally agree on the need for objective translations - it was only an afterthought about my own situation causing me similar problems.
