Gardi Sugdub, also spelled Cartí Sugtupu,[2] is an island in the San Blas Archipelago in the Panamanian comarca indígena of Guna Yala, 400m long and 150m wide.

[2][7][8] Discussions of relocation to a site on the mainland thanks to overpopulation on the island were first raised by Guna elders in 2008.

Residents described the move with sadness as a major lifestyle change that leaves behind more than 200 years of culture.

[13][1] The community of Gardi Sugdub rejects this characterization of the move, pointing out that the size of the island has increased over time thanks to land reclamation by its residents, and that the Guna people did not evacuate their homes even after the 1882 Panama earthquake resulting in waves of 3 metres, far exceeding any forecast sea level rise.

[9] Cartí Sugtupu can be reached by boat from the nearby onshore settlement of Carti, near Isber Yala, which is connected to the main Panamanian road network.
