1 MPA resilience to climate change Réserve Naturelle de Saint-Martin Saint-Martin - 28 Novembre 2013

2 A TOTAL SUPERFICIE OF 3054 HA

3 A terrestrial part of 154 ha classified in natural reserve and transferred at the Conservatoire du Littoral A marine part of 2796 ha (territorial sea) classified in natural reserve. 2 ponds (104 ha) classified in natural reserve 14 ponds belonging to the Conservatoire and managed by the manager of the natural reserve

4 800 sp. Some climate sensitive species Franck Mazeas Chris McCandlish Chris McCandlish Chris McCandlish

5 Réserve Naturelle : climate change sentinel to understand the vulnerability of island biodiversity Implement an early warning system to monitor climate change impacts on biodiversity Water column temperature Mass coral bleaching Birds Migratory routes change

6 THE BLEACHING RESPONSE PLAN OF THE NATURAL RESERVE OF SAINT-MARTIN RNN Saint-Martin Franck Mazeas, DIREN Guadeloupe Pauline Malterre Pauline MALTERRE RNN Saint-Martin Key Largo, june 2010

7 To improve scientific knowledge Monitor impacts on coral reefs

8 Field sheets

9 To improve scientific knowledge Monitor impacts on birds migratory routes

10 Adaptation strategy Well managed terrestrial and marine protected areas improve the state of biodiversity and increase its resilience to climate change Our key adaptation strategy is «Do your job and do it well!» Implement our 5 years management plan even if climate change is not taken into account as such

11 To control anthropic pressure on protected areas

12 Context : 2 million tourists / year

13 To restore damaged habitats & populations

14 Adaptation tools to climate change Artificial reefs and coral reefs restoration

15 Conservatoire du littoral

16 Introduction to the structure A French public organization in charge of the protection of natural coastal spaces (mainland France and overseas departments & territories) Means of action : by land trust In 2013 : ha under protection Overseas : around ha Goal : 1/3 of coastlines under protection by 2050 In 2013 : around 13 %

17 The Conservatoire du littoral in Saint-Martin 355 ha protected, 84 ha of coastlines, 14 ponds, 7 islets

18 Conservatoire du littoral and climate change Assumption : Climate change : an evolution tendency towards : Sea level rise Increase in occurrence of extreme meteorological events Coastlines are naturally affected by erosion. Climate change will increase their vulnerability. Conservatoire du littoral estate will be mainly affected by the evolution of coast profile.

19 1/Knowledge and analysis of the coast profile evolution National study in 2004 and 2011 : ¼ of coastlines affected by erosion 1% of the estate eroded by % of the estate subjected to marine submersion by 2050

20 Overseas : assessment of the vulnerability of protected estate to erosion 1) Classification in different types : Beach Mangrove Rocky coastline Sandbank Estuary Shingle Urbanized coastline 2) Combinaison with other factors : swell, tides, slope, extreme episodes, presence of a coral reef or a lagoon

21 Results : case of Saint-Martin 1/2 Characterization of coastlines

22 Results : case of Saint-Martin 2/2 Vulnerability to erosion

23 2/ Taking into account climate change in our projects Definition of a national strategy 3 scenarios : to resist to endure to adapt

24 Case of Saint-Martin- adaptation of the estate extension strategy Towards a better protection of the mangrove, a natural coastal protection, by reducting wind and swell waves Protection of dry coastal forest (carbon sink)

25 Case of Saint-Martin-Restoration projects Mangrove plants in 2012 Restoration project in 2014

26 Case of Saint-Martin-Restoration projects Erosion control and shore restoration : Case of Pinel island

27 Food for thought Assessment of estate vulnerability : taking into account not only morphological factors, but also socio-economic ones Knowledge to be improved and sharpened What about the influence of climate change on vegetation cover? Species?
