Vendredi, une rencontre autour de la création de la structure unique “Service public anti sargasses” s’est tenue entre le président du Conseil exécutif de la Collectivité territoriale de Martinique, Serge Letchimy et la secrétaire générale de la préfecture, Laurence Gola de Monchy. – Photo CTM Martinique/DR
Pour faire suite à l’annonce du ministre délégué aux Outre-mer de mettre en place une structure unique de lutte contre les algues sargasses, une première rencontre a eu lieu entre l’Etat et la CTM.
Vendredi, une rencontre autour de la création de la structure unique “Service public anti sargasses” s’est tenue entre le président du Conseil exécutif de la Collectivité territoriale de Martinique, Serge Letchimy et la secrétaire générale de la préfecture, Laurence Gola de Monchy.
Dans un communiqué commun, l’Etat et la collectivité précisent qu’il s’agit d’optimiser collectivement les actions opérationnelles et d’organiser l’observation des arrivages et la surveillance des échouages des algues sargasses pour alerter avant leur arrivée. Il est aussi question de la filière de ramassage et de collecte à terre et dans l’eau, du stockage intermédiaire, du transport, mais également du traitement, de la valorisation et du process de transformation des algues sargasses dans une perspective de gestion sur le long terme.
Le ministre délégué au Outre-mer Jean-François Carenco a annoncé, le 1er août dernier, la création de quatre structures pour gérer le sujet sargasse aux Antilles. Cette décision concerne Saint-Barthélémy, Saint-Martin, la Guadeloupe et la Martinique. Elles seront mises en place au 15 octobre prochain.
L’objectif de la création de cette structure unique est de proposer un accompagnement afin d’assurer la maîtrise d’ouvrage des opérations et parallèlement de valoriser les compétences mobilisables à tous les niveaux. Il s’agira également de mettre en œuvre une véritable stratégie de gestion territoriale, afin de maîtriser les coûts, d’éviter un éparpillement des initiatives publiques tout en encourageant l’entrepreneuriat privé.
Dès cette semaine, un groupe de travail réunissant les équipes de la préfecture et de la CTM sera constitué et se réunira le mercredi 17 août, afin de définir les contours de cet opérateur unique qui pourrait prendre la forme d’un Groupement d’Intérêt Public (GIP). Il s’inscrira dans le cadre d’une coprésidence en alternance dotée d’outils partagés par l’État et la CTM. Priorité sera donnée au ramassage en mer, à la santé et à la recherche.
Une participation financière de l’État a été annoncée par le ministre.

Chief Health Inspector for St Mary, Rupert Stephens, has expressed concern relative to the unsatisfactory quality of 16 of the water supply systems that are being manned by the parish’s municipal corporation.
While speaking at the monthly meeting of the St Mary Municipal Corporation (SMMC) on Thursday, Stephens said the health department is now monitoring the water systems, as some of them are consistently unsafe.
“The St Mary Health Department is concerned about the results from monthly monitoring of the water supplies manned by the St Mary Municipal Corporation,” he told the councillors.
“The data has revealed that of the 42 supplies operated by the corporation, only 26 were deemed bacteriologically safe. In addition, there are a number of supplies which consistently presented unsafe reports from 2021 to date,” he added.
According to Stephens, the health department also submitted 16 drinking water samples which included the National Water Commission (NWC) supplies, to the national public health laboratory in July for testing.
Some of the results are worrying, he said.
“Eight samples were deemed to be satisfactory, while eight samples were deemed to be unsatisfactory,” the chief health inspector outlined.

Continuing, he said: “Five samples were collected at NWC supplies, and all were deemed bacteriologically safe. Six samples were collected at St Mary Municipal Corporation supplies; two of the six samples were analysed and found to be bacteriologically safe.
“A total of 29 chlorine residual checks were conducted; 16 were conducted at St Mary Municipal Corporation supplies and nine were found to be satisfactory of that number,” he stated.
In reacting to the news that only 26 of the 42 water systems under the control of the municipal corporation are bacteriologically safe, Port Maria Mayor, Richard Creary, said he is displeased by the disclosure.
He gave a directive to the superintendent of works at the municipality to find a solution to the contamination of the water supply systems over the next two months.
“… So come October, it’s not 16 is the number. It (the contaminated water systems) should be going down,” warned Creary, who is also Chairman of the St Mary Municipal Corporation.
“Mi nuh want the details of one spring or whatever. If there is a challenge with that one, seek the expertise to solve that problem and move on to the next one and solve that one,” he advised.

A truck driver who was charged following the seizure of US$2 million worth of compressed ganja in Stony Hill, St Andrew last month, has pleaded guilty to the charges.
Melton Blackwood, otherwise called ‘Blacks’, of Waltham Park Road in St Andrew, appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Thursday.
The 57-year-old driver, along with a 16-year-old girl, were charged with possession of ganja, dealing in ganja, trafficking ganja, taking steps preparatory to exporting ganja, and possession of criminal property.
The teenager was, however, acquitted of the charges on Thursday after the crown offered no further evidence against her.
Blackwood was remanded in custody until his sentencing on November 16.
He failed in his bid to be released on bail pending his sentencing, as the prosecution revealed that the police believe he is part of a drug syndicate that operates out of St Elizabeth.
Reports are that about 2:45 pm on Friday, July 29, during a joint operation by members of the Police Narcotics Division and the St Andrew North Division, a white Isuzu motor truck was intercepted along St Christopher’s main road in St Andrew.
The truck was searched and approximately 1,500 pounds of compressed ganja was reportedly found. The drug was determined to have a street value of close to US$2 million, the police said.
Blackwood was also found with cash amounting to over $70,000.
The driver and the teenager were both taken into custody and subsequently charged.
