Photo-file: Class C Damage

Class C fields: 18,000 ha along the West Coast

This class includes fields severely damaged, by erosion, debris, deposit and destruction of structures

For this category there are major obstacles to a rapid reclamation and one or several cropping season is out of reach. Methods for reclamation still need to be investigated and may have to be tested out on pilot areas first.

In some cases, the return to cultivation might even be discussed and alternative production activities from natural resources use and management (eco-systems) may be sought for these coastal lands, while compensating current landowners and helping them reorienting/diversifying their activities on other land or other productive activities.

This class includes also fields flooded by brackish water for several weeks since the disaster due to improper drainage
