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.

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.
