Led by the Municipality of Saint Paul, in partnership with the National Forestry Office and the Centre d’Etude et de Découverte des Tortues Marines (CEDTM), as part of the call for projects “Nature-based solutions for resilient coastal territories” of the Ministry of Ecological and Solidary Transition, the project focuses on the recapture of the natural environment in a small area of the Bay of Saint Paul. 

In this highly artificialized and transformed area, the objective is to promote a natural coastal area better adapted to present and future marine hazards. This initiative integrates gentle coastal management techniques (e.g. reprofiling, planting, invasive vegetation control) and relies on the resilience of natural vegetation. Thus, it contributes to restoring the beach’s morphodynamic balance while permitting suitable physical conditions for turtles to lay eggs.
