35 Réserve Naturelle SAINT MARTIN Action PA6 At the request of the luxury hotel, La Samanna, the Réserve Naturelle will go on excursions with clients who want to learnmore about the natural heritage of the island. The first excursion took place on December 21, 2021, with a boat tour around the small island of Tintamarre. Julien Chalifour and Vincent Oliva taught the visitors about various activ- ities for the protection of the local biodiversity, especially sea turtles, birds, and sea plant beds in Baie Blanche. The Réserve Teaches La Samanna Clients About Our Natural Heritage Action CC8  Communicate about the missions and activities of the RNN in the media (Priority 1) On November 2, 2021, the 19/20 program on France 3 consecrated 3.42 minutes to the Réserve Naturelle of Saint-Martin, in a reportage titled “Saint-Martin, Paradise Found For Sea Turtles.” After showing pretty images of tur- tles grazing on sea plants, the primary missions of the Ré- serve were covered, including shots of Franck Roncuzzi on Galion beach, where he was instructing a class about the importance of our natural heritage. Ashley Daniel and Christophe Joe, at work in the nursery, explained the role of the mangrove, where they have already replanted 5,000 small saplings. Then, Aude Berger explained in de- tail the scientific monitoring of sea turtles. A look at the Réserve’s regulations closed the segment, from the ban on fishing to the obligation of boats to use moorings and the payment of fees for professionals duly registered with the Réserve Naturelle: measures intended to revitalize the synergy between conservation of our biodiversity and use of the protected natural sites.
