Carib-Coast: Caribbean Coastal Risk Prevention Network in relation to climate change

The Caribbean coastal risk prevention network Carib-Coast presented on October 13, 2022 in Guadeloupe the results of its work conducted since 2018. Perfectly in line with the environmental issues now facing the island territories of the Caribbean, the Interreg Carib-Coast program is a European project led by BRGM Guadeloupe.

Carib-Coast: preserve one of the last natural saltworks in Guadeloupe

The CARIB-COAST project is a European multi-partner project led by BRGM. It enables the creation of a network of experts for the prevention of coastal risks and adaptation to climate change.

In February 2021, the teams conducted a new measurement campaign on the Grande Anse des Salines beach in Guadeloupe to study hydrodynamics as well as sediment and vegetation dynamics. The teams take a look back at this campaign, which is important both for the preservation of the coastline and for the economic and tourist aspects of the area.

In a context of recurrent cyclone crises and the rise in sea-level, the Carib-Coast project, led by BRGM, is an integral part of the Interreg programme for the Caribbean and has enabled the setting-up of a Caribbean network for the prevention and mitigation of coastal risk crises that arise with climate change. Discover the results of this project, organised around 3 main themes: currents and marine submersions, coastal erosion, awareness-raising and decision support.
