Mofatt and Nichol. 2004. L’Ansecoy Bay shoreline assessment. Report prepared for the Mustique Company.17 pp.*
This report is an account of the assessment of the L’Ansecoy Bay shoreline which has been retreating and causing some
estate homes to be more susceptible to damage especially during extreme storm events. The report reviews previous studies,
assess the shoreline processes and evaluate alternative solutions to reduce erosion and provide protection to the estate
homes.

This paper describes the construction, parameterisation and balancing of a preliminary marine ecosystem model for the
south eastern Caribbean using Ecopath with Ecoism software. It integrates available ecological and biological information
for the region, and fisheries related information specific to Grenada and the Grenadines. The main objectives are to better
understand the structure and functions of components of the ecosystem, to examine the impacts of fishing on the living
marine resources and to explore fisheries management policy options. Hypothetical policy explorations scenarios are
investigated and adapt limitations and suggestions for further refinement of the model are highlighted.

fisheries catch trends and ecosystem models. FCRR 11(6), pp. 67-94.*
The trends in the fishery were determined by investigating the estimates of the total fisheries catch, total catch of onshore,
offshore fisheries, fishing effort and the annual trends in catch per unit areas and catch per unit effort. This reconstructed
data was compared to the data in the FAO FISHSTAT and discussed. This article is an excellent source for the history of
fisheries development and policy within Grenada and the Grenadines.

Using past literature, the time series of catch and effort data was reconstructed for fisheries of Grenada and the Grenadines
for the period from 1942- 2001. Through examination of fisheries characteristics, biological and ecological indicators, the
impacts of fishing on the marine resources between 1978 and 2001 are quantified. Results are consistent with development
of the offshore fishery ad a decline in the inshore fishery. Declining catch per unit effort in the offshore fishery and
declining mean length and fishing-in-balance index in the inshore fishery are the major areas of ecological concern. Data
limitations affecting the utility of reconstructed data for quantifying the impacts of fisheries are discussed and suggestions
for improvement of fisheries statistics provided.
