Irma has seriously modified our shores, especially as can be seen at Galion, where a connection appeared naturally between the Salines d’Orient and the Baie de l’Embouchure.
This liaison allowed for the evacuation of water accumulated in the wetlands and is permitting improvement of the water circulating in the two ponds and the bay, that is to say the water is clearer, less oxygenated, and cooler. In theory, the consequences are very positive for the flora and fauna species, previously under great stress in the dry season.
The sustainability of this channel could greatly improve the quality of the ponds and the Baie de l’Embouchure and accelerate the reconstitution process of the littoral forest, a veritable nursery for fish and crustaceans.
