CUL-DE-SAC: After a visit to the Cul-De-Sac site last Tuesday, Louis Mussington, President of the Collectivité, visited the site again this Wednesday morning to discuss with the workers of Koole Contractors, a company requisitioned to assist the company Janky Environnement and GTM in the collection of sargassum and the cleaning of the pier area.

Fabien Sésé, Secretary General of the Prefecture of Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin, was also present, lending his support to the initiative taken by the Collectivité.

The President’s decree was signed on site on Wednesday 27 July at 9am for all parties. Ten days are planned for the operation in question with a daily budget of 2.750€.

Florian Mioni, environmental engineer at the DEAL SXM explains that Janky will take care of the spreading by collecting the sargassum with sand. As for KooleContractors, the workers will remove the floating sargassum directly into the water with a skeleton bucket in order to lose less land, sargassum that will be taken directly to the waste disposal center.
