Pesticide Justice in the French West Indies: France’s National Assembly has unanimously adopted a bill acknowledging the state’s “share of responsibility” for the health, moral, environmental and economic harm linked to chlordecone (Kepone) in Guadeloupe and Martinique, where more than 90% of adults have traces of the pesticide; lawmakers cite probable links to prostate cancer and other serious long-term effects, and the text sets goals for decontamination and research while planning support for affected farmers and fishermen. Next Steps for Reparations: The government says compensation and reparations will need a specific legal framework, with an interministerial inspection mission soon to assess remediation and cleanup measures. Regional Health & Environment: An OECS-supported delegation is visiting Martinique and Guadeloupe (June 1–4) to study sargassum management strategies, including monitoring, collection, risk management and turning seaweed into value-added products, as recurring invasions continue to affect public health and local economies.
