THE BAY OF SAINT-JEAN IN SEARCH OF HARMONY
by T.F. 04/15/2021
The Collectivity brought together about fifty users of the bay of Saint-Jean, Thursday April 8 in Gustavia within the Harbor Master's Office, in order to discuss certain inappropriate behaviors and to propose a reorganization.


“Too many rules kill the rules, but you need a minimum. "If he insists on the will of the Collectivity to" remain flexible so that everyone can find their way ", Nils Dufau intends to convey the following message: it is now necessary to achieve harmony in the bay of Saint-Jean in order to that its various users stop "stepping on each other". To do this, they were invited to participate in an information and consultation meeting on Thursday, April 8 at the Gustavia Harbor Master's Office. About fifty people were present.


" Everyone sees noon at his door "
By his own admission, Nils Dufau, the 2nd vice-president of the Collectivity in charge of port and maritime affairs, recognizes that "not much has been put in place in Saint-Jean". Latency that poses a problem since the bay has grown considerably. Hotels, restaurants, anchorages, use of nautical and sports gear, swimmers and, of course, the airport runway which opens directly onto the bay. Not to mention future developments, such as the construction of a new hotel complex in place of L’Emeraude and the opening of a restaurant. "I receive maritime or land complaints and everyone sees noon at their door," remarked the elected official. To sum up, without bordering on anarchy, the habits of users are somewhat lacking in supervision.
In 1982, five prefectural orders were issued to regulate access and traffic in the bay. Decisions that have never really been implemented. "At the time, there was not the same pressure," said Nils Dufau, supported by Ernest Brin, the manager of the port of Gustavia: "There was much less traffic. He recalls, however, that regulations are in force and must be observed. “We have pleasure boats that anchor in the bay,” he says. However, for mooring, it is mandatory to have an authorization from the Collectivity. Lately, several people have allowed themselves to set sand screws using professional divers, but without permission and very close to other boats. Which is a source of conflict. "


"All this must be framed"
For Ernest Brin, one of the objectives is to manage to count and list all the boats that anchor in the bay. A measure which will represent a step forward, but which will not be sufficient because, at the same time, many activities have developed in the bay. "It's understandable, but we have to be able to find our way in there," Ernest Brin insists. It all has to be supervised, as it is in the port and where it works very well. »Two speakers will be responsible for reminding users of some basic rules.


Creation of a channel?
First, the head of the Sea Directorate in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy, Michael Wery. It mentions the declaration of compulsory anchorage, the speed limit to be respected when the boat is less than 300 meters from the beach, the operation of the tenders, etc.
The representative of the gendarmerie bounced back on the latter subject to point out "several complaints of anarchic use of certain annexes". And to raise the issues related to the identification of these boats. But beyond regulatory concerns, it is the question of the aesthetics of the bay that is raised by users. Particularly when the establishment of a channel is mentioned.


"Let everyone feel safe"
"I want to preserve the extraordinary visual comfort of the bay," insists one resident. I wouldn't want you to end up with buoys everywhere. »A concern clearly widespread among resident users. "We are going to think about how to do that as discreetly as possible", tempers Nils Dufau. Same reassuring tone for Ernest Brin, who says: "There is no question of making a garland of buoys! The goal is for everyone to feel safe. "
First step, the census. The meeting ends and each user who owns a boat is invited to complete an identification form. And the port manager warns, mainly to hoteliers: “Any ship that disembarks people with luggage in Saint-Jean Bay risks a sanction. »To the best of my knowledge ...



Users of the Bay of St-Jean
The Collectivity asks all users of the sea having a boat at anchor in the bay of Saint-Jean to send to the port and maritime affairs department at the Gustavia harbor master's office, the form for "Census of ships at anchor" before Thursday April 22, 2021, 5 p.m.
Each owner must attach two photos of the vessel with his declaration (one on the side with the name of the boat clearly visible + one from the back). Any incomplete file and / or not submitted before the date indicated will be refused.
