ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) FOR CANARIES MARKET | Special National Projects | 2022-05-31 20:26:31
The Ministry of Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries is currently implementing the OECS Regional Tourism and Competitiveness Project (ORTCP), a six-year tourism development project, which commenced in August 2017. The Project is funded by the World Bank as a regional initiative that is concurrently being implemented in Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines by their respective national governments. The original objectives of the Project were to: (i) facilitate the movement of tourists within the participating countries using ferries; (ii) improve selected touristic sites; and (iii) strengthen implementation capacity for regional tourism market development in the participating countries. Those three Project Development Objectives constitute the three main Project Components. However, the ORTCP has been restructured to achieve the ultimate aim, to improve selected tourism sites and strengthen capacity to contribute to the recovery from Covid-19. For this reason, the Ministry of Tourism in close collaboration with the Office of the Prime Minister has strategically identified some key sites for enhancement, with a view to enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of Saint Lucia’s tourism sector. The development of community-based tourism in the village of Canaries is among several initiatives planned which closely align with the underlying premise of the 2020 Saint Lucia Tourism Strategy (developed under the ORTCP) which focuses on balancing visitor value and diversifying the product towards a more appealing stayover prospect. Moreover, it is envisaged that this initiative will contribute significantly to boosting the resilience of the tourism sector, as the Ministry prepares for the resurgence ofthis vital sector. And it is against this backdrop, that the Canaries Market was identified as a potential project.

The communities of Marchand and Entrepot border one another and are located in Castries to the south-east of the city. The Marchand-Entrepot River is a tributary of the Castries River which traverses these communities on its way to the sea through the city of Castries. The Marchand-Entrepot riverbank stabilisation works aim to address soil erosion which has created bank slope instability along the banks of this tributary, increasing the risk of land slippage along a densely developed area with existing structures lining the riverbank.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN BUCKEYE / CUL DE SAC PARK | Special National Projects | 2023-05-16 16:09:12
Over the past two decades there has been a significant increase in tourism-related use, along the West Coast, both in terms of daily traffic from charter boats en route to and from Soufriere, and overnight yacht anchoring. There has also been an increase in scuba diving and snorkeling activities, along the West Coast. It is against this backdrop, that the continued development of the Cul de Sac / Buckeye Beach Park which is located just south west of Port Castries is being considered with a view to dispersing beach tourism activity, whilst reducing congestion and overcrowding at other beaches in the north of the island particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to allow for safe levels of social distancing.

Saint Lucia is faced with limited capacity and fiscal space, as well as high levels of exposure to economic and weather shocks. The country has had limited success in adequately preparing for public health emergencies. Recent extreme weather events such as Hurricanes Irma and Maria (2017) and regional outbreaks of Chikungunya (2014), Zika (2016) and more recently COVID-19, have highlighted weaknesses in the preparedness of health systems in the Eastern Caribbean region to manage public health emergencies with Saint Lucia being no exception.
