AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMarine Protection: France marked World Oceans Day by designating three new marine protection zones, bringing strictly protected waters to 14.68% (target: 14.8% by year-end). In Guadeloupe, the new area will protect coral reefs that shelter sea turtles, while other zones cover habitats like the Kentish plover in Audierne Bay and deep seabed areas in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands—strict rules limit fishing, extraction and some tourism. Airlift & Tourism: Air Canada is launching a new weekly nonstop route between Quebec City and Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), running Thursdays from Dec. 17, 2026 to Apr. 8, 2027, adding capacity for winter travel demand. Energy & Storage: France’s energy regulator (CRE) selected five electricity storage projects in Corsica totaling about 48 MW, with battery costs notably lower than earlier rounds in Guadeloupe—an indicator for future regional storage economics. Regional Connectivity: New airline interline partnerships in the Caribbean aim to reduce fragmented regional airlift frictions, making island-to-island travel smoother for passengers and business travelers.
