Résumé : International audience
A multiproxy analysis of lacustrine sediments cored in Grand-Case Pond at Saint-Martin, north of the Lesser Antilles archipelago, reveals three distinct climatic periods for the last 3700 years. From 3700 to ~2500 yr cal. BP and from 1150 yr cal. BP to the present, carbonate mud deposition occurred in connection with pond lowstands. These periods were also punctuated by severe drought events, marked by gypsum laminae, and hurricane landfalls, leading to marine sand inputs into the pond. The intermediate time interval, from 2500 to 1150 yr cal. BP, is typified by black organic mud deposition, suggesting that hypoxic to anoxic conditions prevailed at the pond bottom. These were probably linked with a perennial pond highstand and reflect more uniform and wetter climatic conditions than today. The carbon isotopic composition of the ostracod Perissocytheridea bisulcata shows that the lowest δ13C values are recorded during the hypoxic periods, as a consequence of bacterial recycling of isotopically depleted organic matter. Such a climatic history agrees closely with that documented from other records in the Caribbean area, such as the Cariaco Basin, central coast of Belize or Barbados. By constrast, discrepancies seem to emerge from the comparison between hurricane activity recorded at Saint-Martin on the one hand and Vieques (Puerto Rico) on the other hand. We explain this apparent contradiction by a balance between two distinct storm paths in response to latitudinal shifts of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Stronger storm activity over the Gulf coast and the inner Caribbean Sea is favoured by a southern position of the ITCZ in connection with dry climatic conditions. Plausible links with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) are also suggested.

Résumé : The quality of the natural environment is inexorably linked to tourism in the Caribbean. Tourists are attracted to the beauty of the Caribbean coastal and marine environment, generating significant economic activity and employment. The resulting development and concentration of human activities in the coastal zone may have deleterious effects on environmental quality and tourists’ willingness to return. Using a survey administered to over 2,000 tourists in Barbados, this work examines tourist perceptions of beach quality and encounters with beach litter. The relationship between the quality of the coastal environment and the probability of return visitation is empirically investigated. Results demonstrate a clear link between viewing beach litter and the perceived quality of beaches and that tourists who stayed beachfront or in large hotels encountered significantly less beach litter and had higher ratings of beach quality. The amount of litter viewed and stated perceptions of beach quality are significantly associated with the probability of return visitation, especially for first-time visitors. Results of this study suggest that targeted beach clean-up efforts may enhance the probability of return visitation and create significant economic value.
La qualité de l'environnement naturel est inexorablement liée au tourisme dans les Caraïbes. Les touristes sont attirés par la beauté de la côte des Caraïbes et du milieu marin, stimulant l'activité économique et l'emploi. Le développement qui en résulte et la concentration des activités humaines dans la zone côtière peuvent avoir des effets délétères sur la qualité de l'environnement et de la volonté des touristes à revenir. L'utilisation d'un sondage mené auprès de plus de 2.000 touristes à la Barbade examine les perceptions touristiques de la qualité des plages et des rencontres avec des déchets sur les plages. La relation entre la qualité de l'environnement côtier et la probabilité du retour des visiteurs est une étude empirique. Les résultats montrent un lien clair entre la visualisation des déchets sur les plages, la qualité perçue des plages et le lieu de séjour des touristes en bord de mer, dans les grands hôtels, selon la qualité plus ou moins élevées de la plage. La quantité de litière vue et la déclaration du degré de qualité des plages perçue sont significativement associées à la probabilité de retour des visiteurs, en particulier pour les primo-visiteurs. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que les efforts de nettoyage sur les plages cibles peut augmenter la probabilité de retour de visiteurs et de créer une valeur économique significative.
