The staff at the Réserve Naturelle met with Stéphan Basso, the new commandant at the gendarmerie, who arrived on the island on August 1, replacing Sébastien Manzoni. The brigade chief voiced his interest in the various missions assigned to the rangers and assured the Réserve that it can count on the support of the gendarmerie, especially in the identification of scofflaws. Basso also invited the Réserve to be present when the next group of mobile gendarmes arrives on November 6, and to make a 30-minute presentation at that time, to best inform the new arrivals about the challenges encountered at the sites that are officially part of the Réserve Naturelle de Saint-Martin.
Welcome to the commandant of the gendarmerie
