It was 9am when we joined the Tamarin Bay Cruises team at La Balise Marina to spend a romantic day on board their catamaran. We could admire the morning sun reflecting on the undulating waters of the bay. Sea and sky merged into one and time seemed to stand still.

Cédric Descombes is a resident of Tamarin and the General Manager of Plankton Recycling Cooperative Sty Ltd. He tells us more about this cooperative enterprise based in Bel Ombre.

Landscaping work is well underway at Cap Tamarin Park. Endemic trees and plants such as Mimusops coriacea (monkey’s apple), Tournefortia argentea (heliotrope), Diospyros egrettarum (coastal ebony) and Cyphostemma mappia (Mapou tree) as well as part of the lawn will be planted in March 2022.

The Yemen salt pans are a national treasure. They have been in operation for 75 years and are the only remaining salt works on our island. Anandi Mahadoo is well aware of their worth. “My mother was a salt worker here. I was 10-11 years old when I started coming with her to give her a hand. And I officially took a job here after I got married.”

The first women’s team at Riverland Sports Club was launched about two years ago by Loïc Joanno, in charge of the football academy of the club. Four of his protégées now play for the national Under-17 (U-17) team.

Yeshen travels the island by bus and on foot with his easel, painting his works on the spot. The scents, colours and atmosphere of a place add texture to his paintings. In Black River, his work is inspired by the scent of acacia trees, pie lakol (which directly translates to ‘glue tree’) and pie maron.

Cap Tamarin has brought on board the services of C+S Health Diagnostics (a subsidiary of the IBL Group’s Life Together) to meet the healthcare and wellness needs of the residents of the West with high quality holistic care.
