Anon. 1996. Management plan for the Tobago Cays Marine Park. 15 pp.
This document deals with the management of the Tobago Keys Marine Park and as such spans a number of issues. It
identifies many similar problems to those that were identified by a recent survey of yachters by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and the French Mission for Cooperation (1995) on yachters. The management plan describes how SCUBA diving
and snorkelling will be managed in the park (Anon. 1996).
In relation to who is responsible for the Park, the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Labor is responsible for the TCMP,
which will be directed by a Management Committee that includes representatives from all relevant ministries, local
government officials and industry representatives. The latter two groups will comprise the Local Management Committee
that will oversee the implementation of the management plan. An executive group will implement the plan. This group
includes a Park Manager, a Secretary and four or five Rangers, whose roles are described. The fee structure for users
remains the primary unresolved issue.
This plan is currently in draft form, and is under discussion by the Board which will oversee its implementation. It is the
result of several years of study by the Government of SVG and the French Mission for Cooperation (1994, Anon. 1993,
1996), and has involved public consultation (JEMS 1996). The plan is based on zonation of the TCMP area, which was
defined by the Fisheries Regulations. Two demarcated recreational zones are proposed, one central, including Horseshoe
Reef and the four cays inside the reef, the other to the west of Mayreau, around the wreck Purina. The rest of the TCMP is
a general use zone. As such its intended use does not appear to differ from any other marine area in the waters of St.
Vincent and the Grenadines.
