The challenge of energy autonomy
The dependence to fossil fuels, the transition to renewable energy and protecting the biodiversity are high stakes for a lot of island ecosystems. Fortunately, solutions are emerging and our crew intends to meet those who get things moving!
Katia Nicolet, embarked scientist, explains further.
The last guardian of the lighthouse
Jocelyn Lamaille is the son of the last guardian of Gosier Island's lighthouse, one of the islands of Guadeloupe archipelago. Since his childhood, he has seen nature evolve, some species appear while others vanished, sometimes with nice surprises too! During lockdown, some plants started to grow again on beaches.
