Reaching original project goals
Please specify the achievements of the project goals
Climate action & Biodiversity:
-Expected storm / wave induced erosion and flooding:
"Mangroves play a major role in combating the effects of climate change" [...] "The mangrove no longer absorbs the energy of the ocean, no longer protects the shores and natural and inhabited coastal areas and no longer plays its role as an essential bulwark to deal with flooding [...] the municipality of Lamentin, the project leader, wants to tackle the causes of this erosion" (Ref 3, 11).
-Expected enhanced protection against extreme weather events (e.g. storms, cyclones, tidal surges, coastal erosion).
"It plays an essential role [..] in the fight against climate change and also the adaptation of the territory to natural hazards (cyclonic swell, tsunamis, rising sea levels, etc.)" (Ref 13).
-Expected improved stormwater management:
"excess freshwater from rain and wastewater"[...] "our project aims here to strengthen the restorations by limiting the arrival of fresh water from the watershed to the environment" (Ref 3).
-Expected increased conservation or restoration of ecosystems:
"already planned restoration of 10 hectares of former mangroves" (Ref 3).
-Achieved increased conservation or restoration of ecosystems & increased number of species present:
"protecting 50 plants or trees threatened , planting 60 trees with a view to reforesting the degraded mangrove area, collecting 200 black mangrove seeds and planting 50 of these plants in a nursery in situ." (Ref 6).
-Expected increased ecological connectivity across regeneration sites and scales:
"This mangrove renaturation and replanting project will ultimately allow the integration of this mangrove area into the Génipa nature reserve" (Ref 4).
-Achieved improved prevention or control of invasive alien species:
" removing 1000m² of invasive grasses, laying 500m² of smothering tarpaulins, protecting 50 plants or trees threatened by these IAGs,"(Ref 6).
Social justice and community:
-Achieved gain in activities for recreation and exercise:
The restoration benefited the "sports course set up by the municipality in 1992" on Morne Cabri; An “interpretation trail” was created under the Fondation du Patrimoine grant (Ref 7).
-Achieved increased awareness of NBS and their benefits:
"setting up thematic days for schools around environmental awareness." (Ref 4).
