At home or during your walks around the island, your observations can contribute to our knowledge of Saint-Barthélemy's biodiversity, in what is known as participatory science.
We recommend the iNaturalist application. By photographing a plant or animal species, you can identify it with the help of naturalist scientists. Your observations are recorded island-wide, enabling us to access and complete our information on the species in question (presence of rare or endangered animals in a specific area, time of budding, flowering or fruiting of a plant).
This application is available on a global scale, so you'll be sure to find out more about the species that can be found more or less far from home!
The Facebook page “St-Barth biodiversité identification” also allows you to publish a photo of a species for identification purposes. Don't hesitate to share your daily observations and find out more about your surroundings. At home or during your walks around the island, your observations can help to enrich our knowledge of Saint-Barthélemy's biodiversity, in what is known as participative science.
To understand the evolution of our beaches and prevent erosion, we need to monitor the functioning of coastal environments (coastal dynamics) before taking action.
Do you regularly walk along a beach?
Take the opportunity to share with us a photo of the coastline during your stroll to enrich our knowledge on the subject.
Coastline monitoring is essential to study the evolution of our beaches and work on sustainable solutions to reduce erosion.
When you're in front of a CoastSnap station, follow the instructions to send us a photo and enrich our monitoring.
