Bio-diversity

The Grande Anse Marine Reserve is located east of the community of Des Barras and is one of the most visited beaches by leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the Eastern Caribbean. The project aims to address the issue of sand mining, poaching of sea turtle eggs, slaughtering of the marine turtles, deforestation and the low capacity of the Des Barras Sea Turtle Watch Group. The Planning Grant will be used to develop the capacity of the group, establish a multi-stakeholder management committee, commence the long process of public awareness and education and prepare a Full Grant Project Proposal.
