The Ministry of Public Works of Suriname and the International Office for Water(OiEau) signed a partnership agreement on 4 April for the implementation of the BIO-PLATEAUX II project. 

The document was signed by Mrs Laronde, Director of International Cooperation of OiEau, and Mr Kadosoe, Director of Services of the Ministry of Public Works of Suriname, in the presence of Mrs Steenwinkel, Vice-President of the Territorial Collectivity of French Guiana, and Mr Lecante, President of the Water and Biodiversity Committee of French Guiana. 

On the occasion of the World Water Day (22 March 2024), the BIO-PLATEAUX project organised an awareness week on the banks of the Oyapock River from 18 to 22 March 2024. The aim of the event is to highlight the challenges posed by the pollution of the river with waste. This is a major problem shared by both sides of the Oyapock.
