The assessment report focuses on High North National Park in Carriacou. The report provides a comprehensive inventory
of the natural resources, the biota contained therein and recommendations on the development of general land management
based on data collected. The document is expected to be essential towards the development of informed, community based
conservation and land management strategies which will ensure protection of these invaluable natural resources through the
implementation of the proposed High North National Park. The appendices provides details on the floral and faunal

Lewis, J. B. 1975. A preliminary description of the coral reefs of the Tobago Cays, Grenadines, West Indies. Atoll
Research Bulletin No. 178. 13 pp. *
This provides an initial description of the coral at the Tobago Cays. It lists all corals as well as provides a description of the
Horseshoe Reef. A distribution of the shallow water communities around the islands the islands of Petit Rameau, Petit
Bateau, Buradal and Jonesby are provided as well. Well-illustrated figures are also included of the shallow water
communities. Still, as a study it is simply descriptive and as such would make it impossible to make comparisons over the
long-term.
Lizama, D.T. 2005. Assessing Sustainable “Green Boat” Practices Of Water Taxi Operators in the Grenadines. MSc
Research Paper. Center of Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES), University of the West
Indies. 47 pp.
This article summarises the results of an assessment of sustainable green boat practices of water taxi operators in the
Grenadines Islands of St. Vincent and Grenada. Apart from frequent storms and increase tourist arrivals, water taxi
operators have been identified as an additional contributor to the degradation of the marine environment due to their nonenvironmental
boat practices. Results from the assessment survey indicated that the water taxi operators’ current practices
are often not environmentally friendly. This is evident through improper anchoring, littering, use of non-environmentally
friendly cleaning agents and equipment inter alia. The results of the survey were used to design a booklet on best
environmental practices for boat operation for water taxi operators. This manual is found in the Appendix IV.

Grenadines. Caribbean Coastal Co-management and Coral Regeneration (4Cs) Programme, Sustainable
Grenadines Project (SGP) and Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies, University of the
West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. 22 pp. *
This booklet has been produced for the water taxi operators in the Grenadines with substantial input from the water taxi
operators themselves. The information in this booklet is therefore by the water taxi operators, and for them. It details some
of the “best practices” that operators can follow to become better stewards of the marine environment through improved
boating operations. This booklet is also useful for: other boat owners, operators of boatsheds, slipways and marinas, local
environmental officers, and the public in general.
