POINTE-À-PITRE, Guadeloupe — Officials at the Office of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM) gathered in Guadeloupe with Caribbean partners last week to officially launch the Carib-Coast program. In the context of repeated storm crises and rising sea levels, the Carib-Coast project aims to initiate a Caribbean network for the prevention and crisis management of coastal risks in relation to climate change.
It comprises pooling, co-constructing and disseminating knowledge, and approaches to coastal risks management in the Caribbean. The project includes the entire island Caribbean with focus on the French Caribbean territories of Guadeloupe, Martinique and St Martin, alongside Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
