Newsletter 17 - 2013

Saint-Martin has an exceptional natural heritage..
The Nature Reserve and the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Conservancy) protect these natural areas for us.
Beyond the protection of our biodiversity, they also guarantee our quality of life and maintain the beauty of the island as a tourist destination.
Preserving these areas is a major challenge for our country.

Founded in 1998 by ministerial decree, the Nature Reserve is primarily financed by the State and I am particularly attentive in following their actions.
Twice a year, I have the honor of chairing the Advisory Committee of the Nature Reserve which brings together more than 35 people; politicians, social and occupational professionals, service users, scientists, and administrative staff to discuss its actions and policies in a common desire to maintain this heritage for future generations..

This Nature Reserve is yours, ours, and through this Newsletter we wish to share their latest news with you.
Enjoy your reading!
