ECOLOGICAL STATUS OF THE JOINT BY JOINT MARTINIQUE

AJOUPA-BOUILLON

Pollution of rivers by chemical releases. Rejection River wastes SOCOMOR.

Pollution of the cover by residue sand quarries. Volcanic hazards, landslides and subsidence of the soil.

Anse d'Arlet

Four sites in the process of being purchased by the Conservatoire du Littoral Cape Solomon Morne Reduit, Burgos Pointe Morne Champagne Lacapote Morne, Morne Jacquelone, Pointe du Diamant belonging to Morne Larcher.

A study is also underway to allow the purchase of coastline between Point White and Anse Dufour. A forest protection force should prevail between the tip and Blanche Anse Dufour where drought-tolerant species are largely medicinal endangered.

Almost all marine waters of Anse d'Arlet are polluted. There is a risk of flooding in the town by the river and storm surges of strength 4 accompanying heavy rains.

BELLEFONTAINE

It is claimed the protection of the forest of Bois Roche.

Strong sea erosion. Risk of landslides. Risk of collapse of the cliff despite the work performed. Risk for houses built on steep hills. Leaching of soil and release of materials at sea Sea pollution by lack of sanitation and running up the bay from Fort-De-France, by the presence of boats and degassing oil at sea, by water discharge hot air pollution from the plant. Given the poor condition of housing in the borough. There is risk in the event of a hurricane force 3.

CARBET

Church History Monument in 1978.

The Tomb of the Spanish Lady Cemetery Historical Monument in 1978.

Marine erosion. Instability of the cliffs along the coastal road, river pollution Carbet.

PILOT CASE

He sought the protection of forests.

Loss of seabed dumping of landscape materials and construction. Very strong sea erosion, heavy land pressure.

DIAMOND

The church was listed as a historic monument in 1979. The Conservatoire du Littoral acquired Morne Larcher, but it does not mean that the forest will be protected against development projects of the nature reserve.

Other sites should also be protected for Martinique to enjoy including: Morne Gardier, House Gaoulé Arawak and the archaeological site.

Natural hazards exist related to:

• to marine erosion which is already affecting the approaches to houses in the village,
• Cyclonic storm surge in force 3 and 4, which affect especially the houses erected on the beach.

DUCOS

The town of 9,400 inhabitants Ducos mattered in 1982 wants to find his balance in the neighborhood of 16,000 residents.

There is a significant deforestation in the hills leading to risks of flooding and siltation of some of the mangrove and seabed of the Bay of Fort-de-France. The development of many business parks and housing poses a risk of pollution.

The pressure on land the town is at risk, the most important is related to the magnitude of the task to deploy to restore the ecological balance of the water channel. He must know all the faults of the site, identify causes and implement the technical and financial means to restore long-term balance.

FUND SAINT-DENIS

He sought the protection of forest sites.

The Great Tea - Our Lady of Vermillion where rare species and not observed elsewhere.

Landslides.

FORT-DE-FRANCE

Is a special case in which what is reported does not correspond to half of the serious threats to the environment.

Clearing forest semi-humid and humid to implement housing. There is not one hectare for a child can build his house tomorrow.

Fort de France has been sold to speculators of all kinds to install what they want in a total mess.

Fort-de-France was cemented in the absence of any planning and studies required before urbanization, which endangers the lives and property of thousands of foyalais.

This disorder has led to urban pollution without calling the Bay City and the interplay of ocean currents in the water with the tip of the Point and the Caribbean coast to Bellefontaine, and perhaps even beyond. These findings indicate that the cache we are located in an environmental report for the development of SAR. But in reality, they have never been taken into account in the development of HRH said.

Fort-de-France have drawn up tearing the corals to control a swamp, build a stadium, create a free zone at the tip of Thrushes with the CCIM if the report had been taken ASSAUPAMAR vandalism.

In economically developed countries, it knows no city that has simply chosen to overlook the future and fate of future generations.

In Fort-de-France, these generations have not been taken into account. Unbelievable but true.

POLLUTION

This is important and many pollution related to the high density of habitats and activities in the capital of Martinique.

Presence of numerous slums where sanitation facilities,, maid, etc ... are not feasible.

Extension permanent structures on the hills postponing household waste and residual materials management in the ravines and rivers.

Extensive pollution of rivers, real dumps in neighborhoods, with muddy hindered the flow of water causing flood risk.

The town is trying to solve this problem by protection work places, the canamlisation or river management.

The problem is particularly severe because of very small watersheds especially harmful because of the massive soil sealing.

Marine pollution due to sanitation problems and many different releases, "C" classification of Point Negroes.

Industrial pollution and craft mainly in the area of public port caused by the cement plant, port operations and other industrial and artisanal sector.

In this same area, the establishment by filling the sea of part of the industrial port area of the tip of Thrush causes pollution and siltation of funds submarines.

The presence of an anchorage for boaters showman in the Bay of Fort-de-France.

Pollution related to artisanal dispersed areas in garbage collection.

Presence of a garbage dump open by the sea

Other nuisances: noise generated by the day very serious difficulties of movement. Almost all traffic north-south of the island, passes through Fort-de-France (the completion of the bypass without stopping dilute these nuisances).

Risks

The largest and most dangerux is certainly related to natural phenomena (earthquakes tere, cyclones, tropical rain, tidal waves), whose consequences would entail many deaths.

We must draw attention to the need to consider the impacts of current projects along the sea routes penetrating west, and development of cruise terminal tip Simon, restructuring the port area development, industrial port, harbor project Pleasure Point are to Thrushes and development of ring road on the steep slopes, embankments to uncertain favor of landslides.

Risks sysmiques very dangerous because of the high concentration of people and continuing risks of church land due to uncontrolled construction on steep slopes unstable (Trenelle for example).

FRANCOIS

Serious problem of indiscriminate destruction of forests. The mangrove is in danger, really threatened the coastal area.

The bay is polluted by a combination of various facts: chemical waste, agricultural and domestic waste from the scattered settlements, poultry farms, distilleries of rum.

Significant risk of flooding at junction of two rivers and the high tide.

An illegal dumping of rubbish which can be a vector of serious risk of epidemics. The Pointe Courchet despite the prefectural suspension continues to be exploited.

GRAND RIVER

Pollution of groundwater by runoff and chemical waste.

Sea pollution by solid waste and wastewater. Volcanic hazards, earthquakes, floods, landslides and ground subsidence. Marine erosion, loss of 60 meters of coastline in 50 years.

Gros Morne

He sought the protection of forests.

It is recognized that Gros Morne, there is a very heavy pollution both chemical and that all domestic water sources are polluted and capture.

The town is very steep, considering deforestation and settlement structure, there is a risk of landslides.

LAMENTIN

Here are a few words what we can say Lamentin:

Pollution huge, impossible for water to cross the central part of the town and the periphery, implementation, many areas of activities on land prone to flooding.

We must draw attention to the continuing danger to the inhabitants accentuated by the construction of barriers (roads, embankments, buildings, various equipment) which prevent the spreading and normal water flow.

The town and its vicinity in a floodplain can hardly promote the resolution of such problems. The report states that the biggest problem is the flooding of the river and thought by storm surge.

There is a global ecological risk leading to the disappearance of mangrove forests, say the designers of the report, related to uncontrolled industrial activities.

The report continues by saying: "the importance of the population lives and works in the Lamentin does not make it longer ignore all of this pollution and the risks involved."

They still say that solutions very expensive and tedious to implement will be found.

This is a summary of the environmental report and delivers the Martinique Region.

Lorrain MORNE AND RED

Chemical pollution and agricultural runoff in banana plantations. This leads to pollution of the river "the Hood" that feeds the population of Martinique in drinking water.

For Lorraine, several areas of landslides - very strong marine erosion, which endangers several buildings and even a road.

Marigot

Chemical pollution and agricultural runoff as the water in the basement.

Important marine erosion. Flooding. Pollution of rivers and ravines.

MARIN

Marin Bay stretching from River Pilot Sainte-Anne, was placed at the site inventory. This should allow good thing in principle to preserve Pointe Borgne and mangroves of the bay.

According to a document submitted to the Region and by MR Fiard, Pointe One-eyed, 16 rare tree species are threatened.

This is seriously threatened by a project to build a hotel managed by a multinational and designed by an architectural studio in Paris. The realization of this work would be entrusted to a French company which also has its headquarters in Paris. This shows how our country is sold in pieces to others. It should be noted that this hotel was not penetrate the 50 geometric. The project that is currently frozen by the action of the ASSAUPAMAR. But we must be vigilant.

In Marin, there are still some major projects to be monitored very closely, because the site remains unclear regarding the Turtle Pond Mondesir. In fact between the Yacht Club and the sub-prefecture should be established after destruction of the mangroves, eight shops formed by an assembly of three to four buildings each. In addition, other tall buildings should be located there.

Today the bay is occupied by the Marin multinational ATM. The proposed development must be a Marin City, where morality is that of prostitution, drugs and organized crime.

We note that the mangrove forest at Turtle Pond Mondesir, not on the card of the inventory of sites and is not covered by this entry in the inventory of sites and natural movements.

Such projects, if successful, will not only fatal to the Mangrove Pond Turtle Mondesir and make the Marin center delinquency formalized. ASSAUPAMAR also has a huge job to do in this county in particular and in general in Martinique, Martinique to educate and raise awareness.

The Marin is now under the direct control of multinational law as they see fit. For now, the multinational ATM dominates the Commune.

MORNE RED

He sought the protection of forest sites.

Very heavy pollution of rivers and tributaries of the hood the hood itself. Chemical pollution and agricultural waste upstream of recordings for supplying drinking water to half the population of Martinique.

Risks of landslides and volcanism.

MORNE VERDE

Risk of landslide. Pollution from domestic waste. River Coco River polluted by sewage Carbet Saint-Maurice and Montjoly. It is impossible to build septic tanks. In doing so, everything is in nature.

Preacher (LE)

Church listed in Inventory of Historical Monuments in 1979. Snake Cove site acquired by the Conservatoire du Littoral in 1984.

Forest site unparalleled in Martinique, so primitive forests near forest protection.

Domestic pollution - Very strong marine erosion, the beach has shrunk by 10 meters in 30 years - Buildings and homes threatened, others missing. Armour to try to stop sea erosion which can not withstand the onslaught of the sea

Flooding each storm surge. Volcanic hazard.

We can not overlook the enormous damage during the storm and whose inhabitants CINDY remember with anguish.

RIVER PILOT

Two particularly important problems arise in this town: the village sanitation and protection against floods. If the first can be resolved by the municipality, the second requires the implementation of substantial resources used to services outside the municipality.

We must regret the forest sprawl operated on the territory of the municipality.

It is the duty of nptre countries to do everything to protect the beautiful dry forest of Rivière-Pilote (Mary Black), whose protective shoreline should be acquired, though largely included in the inventory of sites .

There is also the problem of vinasse from Mauny distillery which must not ignore and especially addressed.

SALT RIVER

Here is an excerpt from the official report on the environment presented to the Region

"The town which has 7. 000 would reach 10,000. Several area projects and housing developments. Applications for housing are mainly located on the heights. Infrastructure (HHT) insufficient today able to adapt to the needs. The new developed areas result in a stripping of the soil caused by heavy rains and consequently siltation of rivers as well as deforestation.

Significant risk of flooding in the central part of the joint between the two towns due to waterproofing many areas, the poor drainage runoff stopped by barriers to siltation of rivers and canals of the mangrove.

Proposed business park in Lafayette encroaching on mangroves and creating difficulties for road services. The mangrove and seabed of the Bay are threatened by siltation and pollution. The entire mangrove bay of Fort-de-France calls for protection.

From browsing some of the Salt River on a shuttle to Fort-de-France would make the road smoother.

We do not think it necessary to add something to a report as clear.

ROBERT

Serious problem of forest destruction in the dry savanna and Point of river pollution in the Bay.

Problem of flooding in the city. Area at risk for landslides.

SAINTE-ANNE

Is a project as the site inventory, the peak of Creve Coeur-Bareto-Bellefond. These areas are rich in tree species and drought tolerant calciphilous very rare in Martinique.

Been a tourist pressure such that it could seriously affect the coastal forest or even funds submarines. It is essential that the municipality receives grants to hire guards sworn to protect near-shore locations under a plan developed jointly by the NFB and the Municipality.

It should welcome the action already taken by the Commune in recruiting green brigades for maintenance and prevention at the beaches in collaboration with associations saintannaises.

HOLY SPIRIT

According to the report submitted to the Region, sources in which part of the rural population buys are all polluted and should be prohibited for consumption.

Hundreds of hectares of farmland are concreted in the sole interest of speculators and to the detriment of the development of sustainable activities.

SAINT JOSEPH

Same comments as for the Gros Morne

SAINTE-LUCE

A systematic policy of destruction of the environment is conducted in the City.

A site like Morne Pavilion has been defaced, leading to tons of earth in the bottom of the bay. A planning document was made placing the mangrove desert area developable.

The coastline of the town of Sainte-Luce in Three Rivers was demolished to facilitate the establishment of structures on the seacoast. It was created a BIA miles away from town in cane field.

A landfill, which is not actually located at Anse Ceron pollutes a beautiful mangroves and the sea nearby.

In Sainte-Luce, there are two great dangers: marine erosion particularly important to the village where a dam would be required and a risk of flooding by storm surge hurricane force 4.

The Cliff Lodge and Prefontaine forest sites are valuable.

SAINTE-MARIE

Great distillery pollution leads to serious environmental and health problems: destruction of fauna and flora, invasion of mosquitoes.

SAINT-PIERRE

Pollution of the bay and surrounding deposit of garbage and pools of feces at a place called Canonville Fund. Waste transported by runoff to the sea.

Quarrying, waste brought to the sea by runoff.

Pollution also by inadequate housing and agri-food and chemicals. Important problem of sea erosion. Risk of flooding by storm surge and tidal waves.

Volcanic Risk

SCHOELCHER

It is called protecting the forest plateau Concorde.

Destruction of property so inconsiderate, river pollution, land area of 50 geometric and not squatting the hills.

All marine waters are polluted Schoelcher. This is because:

1. the disorders of the habitat in the municipality
2. the pollution of the Bay of Fort-de-France driven by ocean current north-west in large part.

TRINIDAD

This raises enormous problems regarding the mode of Facilities that are projected on this peninsula, especially that no real analysis of the site and the environment has been made.

The design of the Caravelle Nature Reserve as it has been exhibited in City of Trinidad is within all that more foolish and illegal. A nature reserve must remain NATURAL.

Rivers polluted by chemical waste and agriculture. Rivers and marine waters polluted by the factory of Galion. Bathing water pollution.

THREE-ILETS

Were included in the inventory of historical monuments ruins of the sugar Pagerie since 1979. Registration is underway for the Village Pottery. It has been proposed to include the forests of Hill Bellevue, Rice and Garnier.

There is a great pollution to the donkey and Anse to Anse Mitan due to malfunctioning sewage treatment plants on site, but especially by the ultra-polluted waters of the city of Fort-de-France receive discharges of faeces and uncontrolled flows of the landfill.

Building projects are undertaken on steep slopes increase the risk of erosion and flooding likely to affect the safety of residents and neighbors below.

VAUCLIN

According to studies, there on the mountain endemic species unique to Martinique great ecological value and deserve to be strictly protected.

A coastal forest that extends from the small Macabou (subdivision Lubin) at large backwater of the great Macabou. Part of the forest situated on a coral reef, the only one that Martinique has, is classified as an area NA, the sole purpose of enabling the multinational Rothschild to create a central hotel.

All the actions taken by the ASSAUPAMAR for the purchase of the area by the Coastal or its inclusion in the national inventory of natural areas of interest Ecological and Fauna and Flora (ZNIEFF) have so far failed.

Many other tourism projects and real estate may still destroy the coastline and farmland (UCPA-RIMBEAU Paquemar-POINTE-BOILER-MASSY-Masy ...)

The ASSAUPAMAR must conduct a multifaceted struggle to save the coral reef, a real gem for our country. While observance of laws and made sense in this country, the forestry code, environment and urban planning and the law of January 3, 1986 86-2 lead easily predators heritage going back to Martinique.

Serious interference with mangrove detritus by discharges and uncontrolled construction and indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides for agriculture.
