Bio-diversity

The planning grant was awarded to the BMT to design a project which will reduce the negative environmental impacts along the south coast of Barbados. The problems as identified by the grantee are: impacts from increased use of the foreshore and nearshore areas due to residential, tourism and commercial development; reduced abundance and size of reef fish and other commercially viable marine species; and destruction of coral reefs, sea grass beds and mangroves". The Planning Grant will enable the BMT to undertake some research, convene stakeholder meetings and to draft the full project proposal for funding.
