Heyman et al. (1988) surveyed reef sites in the Tobago Cays Marine Park (TCMP). They describe each site’s coral species
and reef condition and rank them as excellent, good, fair or poor. This gives an idea of the relative distribution of habitats
and has been used as a guide to choosing dive sites in the TCMP. A constraint of this aspect of the study is that it is simply
descriptive and does not permit quantitative comparison of the reefs over time.
Beaches are one of the most valuable natural resources of the southern Grenadines and are looked at. Heyman et al. list the
beaches in the TCMP area, giving the length of each and brief comments on its characteristics and usage. There is no level
of detail provided that would be required to characterize beaches regarding their susceptibility to erosion. Factors such as,
exposure to wave action, natural protection by reefs, alongshore drift direction, and the role of beach vegetation in
stabilizing beaches are excluded.

The report is a requirement of the Government’s obligations under the St. George’s Declaration (SGD) of Principles for
Environmental Sustainability in the OECS, 2001. It is developed to streamline the annual OECS reporting requirements on
the SGD and may also assist to harmonise the reporting needs for many of the international agreements. The report seeks to
examine each of the principle of the St. George’s Declaration and provides a strategy and a list of activities to achieve each
of the principles.

This study is based primarily on a study of the Grenadine flora, including shrub and herbaceous vegetation made in March
and April 1950. Eighteen islands in the Grenadine chain were visited and extensive collections were made.
