Europe and the Caribbean partner in coastal risk prevention

 

The INTERREG CARIB-COAST program is a European project led by the Geological and Mining Research Bureau of Guadeloupe

This week the Caribbean Coastal Risk Prevention Network presented in Guadeloupe the results of its studies and analyses of the last four years, in the presence of representatives from Jamaica, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, and the Association of Caribbean States, partners of the program

In alignment with the environmental issues that the Caribbean island territories are now facing, the INTERREG CARIB-COAST program is a European project led by the Geological and Mining Research Bureau of Guadeloupe which has enabled the creation of a network of experts for the prevention of coastal risks and adaptation to climate change.

It aims to share, build and disseminate approaches to monitoring, prevention of coastal risks, and adaptation to climate change.

This program responds to one of the main areas of concern of the Association of Caribbean States: the preservation and defense of the Caribbean Sea, it encompasses the entire insular Caribbean including the French West Indies of Guadeloupe, Martinique, and St. Martin and relies on partners such

as the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System in Puerto Rico, the Institute of Marine Affairs in Trinidad & Tobago and the MONA Institute of Geoinformatics at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica

Among the existing tools is a digital platform for modeling marine submersions, which will also serve as a data bank for the storm and impact monitoring network and the coastal erosion monitoring and prevention network

The associated stakes concern above all the safety of the goods and the populations, but also the tourist economy related to the maintenance of the beaches and the natural inheritance of these environments rich in biodiversity, a beautiful example of cooperation between the countries of the Caribbean and European French West Indies.

    Papamet hear Carbon and mislead people. Ok let me take that back because some from Europe, some from Antigua and the corrupt heads of Dominica were allegedly involved in the abduction of Choksi. But I never heard drug charges read to him though.
    Now let me ask Carbon and Skerrit some easy questions. Guys does chairman of a village council decriminalizes an individual? Guys, you are both from Veilie case. Why is a well known drug dealer that holds a top position in a village council with a criminal record continues to traffic drugs and smuggle illegal stuff and it seems as if he always has a green light? Have you guys informed the law officers in the Caribbean and Europe? Ok maybe he has immunity.
