Charming French Guides !
Anne, Clémence, Elsa, Emma, Marie, and Pauline, fellow scouts and Guides of France from Mont-Saint-Aignan, close to Rouen, were welcomed by the Réserve Naturelle, August 5-17, 2021. Aged 19 and 20, these young women volunteered with a lot of energy, motivation, and good humor to help the management team. They primarily participated in exploratory nocturnal fishing with the BIODIV’OM Life project, and helped with the triage of post-larvae. They patrolled the coast of Tintamarre looking for traces of sea turtles that laid their eggs on the beach, and took part in a study of shore birds at the Salines d’Orient pond. They also led a cleanup effort on the beaches at Grandes Cayes and at Galion, where they also collected mangrove seeds for the nursery run by the Réserve.
