The Réserve sent an important message to all nautical professionals whose activity takes place in the waters of the Réserve Naturelle. On September 16, 2021, the director of the Seas of Guadeloupe sent out a press release putting an end to the tacit annual renewal of authorization to do business in the marine park of the Réserve Naturelle. The professionnals were also informed that they had to pick up a dossier at the Réserve office, fill it out, and return it to the Réserve before October 15, 2021. The press release indicated that a technical committee comprising the Réserve Naturelle and the appropriate French governmental services would select the dossiers that merited an authorization, good for one year. It was also noted that this authorization could be suspended in the case of irregularities observed by the Réserve or other competent parties.
These new authorizations also led to the creation of a list of boats permitted and authorized—or not—to work in the waters of the Réserve. This list was submitted to the maritime surveillance brigade.
