The National Park of Guadeloupe is a protected marine area located mainly on the commune of boiling and partly that of Pointe-Noire, on the side-under-the-wind of the island of Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe. About 400 hectares around the Pigeon islets facing the beach Malendure, the area allows to protect the seabed and restrict fishing. We go there one to several times a week during the high season.

Project AWARE
Project AWARE (Aquatic World Awareness Responsibility, and Education) is a foundation created in 1989 by PADI. As a result of the growing realization of the degradation of coral reefs some divers have responded and have decided to work for the protection of the underwater. Degradation is caused largely by the activities of diving not mastered. The role of this Foundation is diverse awareness of the importance of the management of their diving on the ecosystem. Do as we do, join Project AWARE! For one euro paid during your training, we undertake to pay the same amount.
The lionfish
A threat to our reefs
The lionfish is an invasive species in the Indo-Pacific region, introduced from Florida through a storm accident in the early 90s. The fish proliferated rapidly in the Caribbean and is a real thread to coastal marine ecosystems of the French Antilles.
SOLAR CREAMS, A POISON FOR CORAL REEFS.
Experiments have been conducted in different seas around the globe and have shown that some components to filter UV (ultraviolet) contained in many sunscreens can stimulate the development of infections that destroy the famous zooxantella, a microalga that lives in symbiosis with the coral and that is necessary for its development. So the coral bleaches and dies.
Fortunately, there are sun creams with mineral filters of zinc or titanium that are safe, the minerals do not penetrate the skin and do not cause allergy. They are designed to limit impacts on marine ecosystems.
