  • 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.

  • Grenadines Seabirds: Preserving a Caribbean Treasure
    Grenadines Seabirds: Preserving a Caribbean Treasure The Grenadine Islands form an archipelago of dozens of islands, many of which harbor regionally and globally important breeding colonies of seabirds. The extensive habitat and relatively remote location of many of these islands make them an ideal place for seabirds to nest. However, the islands are not immune to human impacts. Development, introduced predators, litter, and harvest by people are problems throughout the region which have a negative impact on seabirds. Research by Environmental Protection in the Caribbean (EPIC) has indicated that this key seabird nesting area faces a significant threat in the form of harvesting of seabirds and their eggs and chicks. In addition, it is not known what introduced predators, such as rats, are present on many of the islands. Introduced Species The impact of introduced species has become a major conservation issue. Once one has witnessed the devastation caused by species such as rats to a once-prolific seabird colony, it is topic difficult to ignore. Seabirds lay their eggs during the dry season when there is often less forage available for animals like rats. These predators then rely on seabird eggs and chicks to survive, with the result that far fewer birds are able to successfully reproduce. Over the years, this has meant a continuous decline in seabird populations where introduced predators are present. Seabird Harvest Seabird harvest is an issue throughout the West Indies but one that has not received as much attention despite its potential for significant impacts. The relationship between fishers and seabirds is likely as deep-rooted as fishing itself.
