C'est un engagement a long terme qui comprend des actions urgentes telles que le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_76"&gt;désensablement&lt;/span&gt; de la &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_77"&gt;barrière&lt;/span&gt; et le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_78"&gt;réensablement&lt;/span&gt; de la plage, ainsi que des actions a plus longues &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_79"&gt;durées&lt;/span&gt; comme les &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_80"&gt;études&lt;/span&gt; scientifiques q&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_81"&gt;ui&lt;/span&gt; portent sur quelques &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_82"&gt;années&lt;/span&gt; et la transplantation du corail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;St Jean bay has been transformed over the years in an irremediable way. Today, part of the beach no longer exists, coral reef is dead, herbarium depleted and marine life has disappeared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Reasons are multiple and diverse and result as much from natural phenomenon as they do from human impact. Coral reef, due to its height, permitted the reduction of the force generated in waves coming into the bay. Whitening of the coral reef, urbanization of St Jean bay and pollution have caused the death of the coral. Hurricane Luis had the effect of breaking the reef that rose above sea level at the time he hit in 1995. The result being waves entering the bay with more power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The greater force with which the sea enters the bay today coupled with the St Jean neighborhood has further increased the erosion of the beach. This, in turn, has led to sand being deposited on the coral reef. Scientists, acting on the concerns of the Collectivity, have carried out reports in order to initiate a long term reflection to determine causes and solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In today situation, a non intervention would be catastrophic for the bay itself, for the people who visit and for the residents of St Jean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Hotel Association of St Barth's, conscious of the environment and quality of life in St Barthelemy, has engaged itself to this long term project. Indeed, St Jean bay is an environmental resource for the island from which both the population and the tourists benefit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This project of sustainable development is two-fold:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The first and most urgent stage is to liberate the coral reef from the sand that has accumulated over the years by taking the sand out of the barrier and putting it back onto St Jean beach. This will allow scientists to study in a more precise way the currents of the bay and to take some measurement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Once the reef has been cleaned of sand, the second stage is to analyze the eventuality of revitalizing the reef barrier. A number of studies is needed to validate this possibility. Today's scientists can transplant live coral. Such transplantation has been successful in Antigua where positive results can been seen after seven years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The goal of the project is to rehabilitate in a sustainable, ecological and responsible way the bay of St Jean. The project is a long term commitment which will involve both immediate and long term action as scientific studies and coral transplantation occurs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
