Abstract

Guadeloupe, a French overseas region in the Caribbean, faces significant environmental challenges, exacerbated by climate change and increasing anthropogenic pressures. The Guadeloupe Port Authority (GPA), beyond its logistical and economic responsibilities, plays a crucial role in land-use planning and ecological stewardship. Since 2022, the GPA has implemented a comprehensive monitoring program focused on the health and resilience of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, mangroves, and anthropized habitats. This initiative aims to reconcile ecological conservation with port development activities.
