Carib-coast project

Résumé

Exposed to extreme cyclonic episodes and the progressive rise of sea level in relation with climate change, the coastlines of the Caribbean are subject to natural hazards such as coastal erosion and marine inundation. The associated risks relate mainly to the safety of goods and populations, but also to the tourism economy linked to the maintenance of beaches and the natural heritage of these interface environments where biodiversity is particularly rich (mangroves, coral reefs, meadows). The CARIB-COAST project (2018-2022, https://www.carib-coast.com/en/), was set up to develop a modeling pltform for hydrodynamics, to monitor the coastal erosion and mitigation using natural ecosystems so as to assist decision-making, exchange, training and sensitization of Caribbean stakeholders to manage the risk and adaptation. The use of operational tools, the dissemination and availability of the results via a web portal and the actions of training and awarness. All the results of the project are available on the carib-coast website (www.carib-coast.com), including the modeling platform that provides with a insight on all the modelling effort of the project on present-day and future oceanic circulation and climate, tsunami and hurricanes hydrodynamics.
