  • Yachtcharter - Yachtcharter Martinique
    VPM Yachtcharter - Yachtcharter Martinique Yacht - charter Yachtcharter Martinique Martinique offers excellent water sport conditions - and correspondingly large is the variety. Sailing, surfing, sailboarding, water ski, sea kajak, deep sea diving, fishing or jetski - there is something for every water sport fan. The bays of Le Robert and Le Francois are very popular. Sailors love the island because its often the preferred starting point for Yachtcharters from Martinique to the grenadines. But its also a suitable destination for cruises because of its numerous and well protected bays. The international airport (FDF) is in Fort de France, about 15km outside the city. Air France flies several times from Paris to Fort de France in 8,5h daily, there are flights from many different German airports. Europeans are allowed to enter Martinique with their identity card or their passport without a visa. Non-residents have to have a return flight ticket. In Martinique the climate is warm as you would expect it on a tropical island. The steady trade wind makes this hot climate easily acceptable. From October through January the wind is blowing significantly stronger, usually from the North-East. From May onward it turns to south-east and blows steadily in a pleasant wind- force of about 4 to 5. During a Yachtcharter out of Martinique into the passages of St. Lucia and St. Vincente you will sail on the open sea. From St. Vincente on, there is the so called sailing over small distances. Here you will find Bequia, which is the meeting point of all yacht sailors and those who travel the world, Basil’s Bar on Mustique, the famous Horseshoe Reef in the Tobago Cays, or the island of spices called Grenada.

    MonographieMonographie Maritime Maritime de la Martiniquede la Martinique 2017 - 2018 2017 -2018 Direction de la Mer Direction de la Mer de la Martinique – Monographie 2017 | 2 Le mot du Directeur de la Mer Cette monographie des activités maritimes réalisée par l'observatoire de l'économie maritime de la Direction de la Mer, apportera, je l'espère, des éléments d'information intéressants et exploitables pour tout ceux qui participent à l'économie bleue en Martinique. Elle vise essentiellement à mesurer le poids des activités maritimes dans l'économie de la Martinique. Elle détaille aussi ce que l’on peut qualifier de « patrimoine maritime ». Elle permet également d'observer quelques grandes tendances : la crise du secteur de l'aquaculture, la transformation du secteur de la pêche, le dynamisme de la plaisance, le développement d’activités touristiques maritimes, la bonne santé de l’activité portuaire… Une réflexion sera lancée avec les différentes filières de l'économie bleue et en lien avec le cluster maritime de la Martinique, pour définir les bons indicateurs permettant de disposer d’un baromètre le plus pertinent possible de l'économie maritime. Le format de cette monographie va donc encore progresser dans les prochaines années, au bénéfice de tous ceux, entreprises, chercheurs, décideurs publics, qui s’intéressent aux affaires maritimes.

  • Population Legale En Martinique
    N°92 Janvier 2013 Population légale 2010 Martinique Au premier janvier 2010, 394 173 personnes habitent en Martinique. Ce chiffre place l’île légèrement derrière la Guadeloupe et ses 403 355 habitants, mais loin devant la Guyane qui n’en compte que 229 040. Par ailleurs, la Martinique est le département français d’Amérique (DFA) le plus densément peuplé avec plus de 350 habitants par km² quand la densité en Guadeloupe est de 247 habitants par km² et que celle de Guyane est inférieure à trois habitants par km². Une hausse de la population Population des 34 communes de Martinique limitée par l’émigration Depuis 1999, année du dernier recensement général de la population, la population martiniquaise a augmenté de 12 746 habitants. Cette hausse correspond à une augmen- tation annuelle moyenne de 0,3 % par an, relativement éloignée de celle observée en métropole (0,7 %) sur la même période. Cette faiblesse relative est due essentiel- lement à une baisse importante et régulière de la natalité depuis plus de trente ans et à une émigration de travail soutenue, majoritairement à destination d’Ile-de-France. Le Nord plus touché que le Sud par la baisse de population La Martinique comprend six zones géographiques dans lesquelles les dynamiques de population sont très dif- férentes. Le vieillissement des populations au nord entraîne ainsi un fort déficit naturel non compensé par des migrations de travail. Le Nord-Atlantique est le plus touché par la baisse de sa population, - 8,7 % de 1999 à 2010 et la population du Nord-Caraïbes ne croît légè- rement sur la même période que grâce aux communes Population de la Martinique aux recensements Source : Insee, Recensement de la population 2010 Source : Insee, Recensement de la population 2010 Direction Interrégionale Antilles-Guyane Recensement général de la population Variation annuelle moyenne de la population entre 1999 et 2010 et densité de population 2010 Depuis janvier 2004, le recensement de la population résidant en France est annuel.
