The State having released the sum of 3 million euros for the collection of these polluting algae in the Antilles islands (the Guadeloupe archipelago - Martinique - St Barth - St Martin), the Collectivity will use the funds which it will be allocated to strengthening its resources through the acquisition of mechanized equipment for the collection of algae and the establishment of a new "green brigade".
The association A-SIS Service, partner of this integration project, will thus put 25 young crossing guards at the service of collecting Sargassum algae on the beaches of the community.
At this stage, the analyzes of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) did not identify any danger for the population. The level of hydrogen sulfide is very low, even zero, in the impacted berries, despite the occasional presence of a strong odor.
