La Petite Histoire de la Ville des Cayes

On HAIMUSIQUE Sunday Talk Show (Oct. 19, 2008) Vaniel and I talked
about Gelee Beach as a recreational area and as an economic and
ecological resource for the city of Cayes and all its surrounding
counties.
The beauty of that beach, its particularities (fresh water flowing
around the beach, etc.) along with its struggles were analyzed, while
a comprehensive plan was suggested to resolve identified issues
in order to place that beach on-the-carte.

Among the issues identified include: security (lack of lifeguarding
and light), food preparedness and infrastructure conditions, the salt
marsh (in stage of dysfunction at both ends of the beach: behind the
marines precinct by the "la douane" and around Bourrie...), salubrity
(floatables and beach cleanliness condition), etc.

The creation of a municipal agency to reinforce local citizens'
efforts to improve the physical and ecological conditions of and
around the beach was proposed along with comprehensive cabinet and
community meetings/hearings to seeking for local assistance and
straightening communityhood in that region.
