SOS Cosette
The 9th commitment of the “Grenelle de la Mer” (Seas Summit, environmental roundtables about the sea and the coastline in France in 2009) regarding the development of a local end-of-life ship scrapping and recycling process struggles to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Yet it was specified that this commitment, which is supported by the current Ministry of Transport, covered overseas territories. According to converging information that is still confidential, the prefect of Martinique is about to order the immersion of Cosette IMO 6617025, a 99-meter long roll-on roll-off cargo ship abandoned 4 years ago at Fort-de-France. The same drastic operation, which is illegal with regard to the international commitments of France, could also happen to Lady Grace II, which is a 48-meter long coaster, unclaimed, that has also remained in Fort-de-France since October 2008, whereas her location favors, or rather requires, her destruction in situ.
The PCB Cookbook
Wearing their top chef’s hats, Ifremer, the General Department for Food, the Management of Maritime Fishing, and waterlife have made for you, just in time for New Year’s celebrations, a dish of the highest quality. It is recommended that you consume crabs fished from the depths of the Seine’s bay, and no longer adhere to the opinion of the National Agency for the Sanitation of Food, Work, and the Environment (ANSES) from May 13, 2011, and to forget the prefect of Haut-Normandie’s decree from July 29, 2011. According to the former, the crabs were considered not to conform to the regulated standards of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and dioxin content, and the latter forbid both consumption and marketing.
