The profiles themselves are of Bequia- Paget Farm, Canouan, Ashton, Clifton and Kingstown Beach. As an example, the
Bequia profile offers (1) a brief history of Bequia, which looks at the early settlement and whaling and commercial fishing.
(2) Services and Development in Bequia- Tourism, Government Services and Paget Farm Village, (3) Population
Characteristics- Age Profile, Education and Training, and Occupation (4) the Local Economy (5) Family/ Gender Roles (6)
Local Opinion and Perceptions about Development (7) Brief Profiles of Fishing in Paget Farm- fishing boats and engines,
types of fisheries, frequency of fishing, species/ amounts landed, crew structure and catch division.
While it covers a variety of areas, perhaps, information is lacking on the spatial aspects of the interaction between fishers
and fishing: namely, where fishers fish for the various species. This information is useful for planning purposes. For
example, where proposed developments will be impacting or using coastal habitats, potential conflicts can be predicted. It
is normally very difficult to acquire accurate information from fishers on the above topics simply using a short-term study.

Clifton and Kingstown Beach: Report of baseline data studies. Volume IV: Profile of fishing in St. Vincent and the
Grenadines. Canada-St. Vincent and the Grenadines Fisheries Development Project. 120 pp.
In 1989, the Canadian and St. Vincent governments signed an agreement to implement a program to help develop the
country’s fishing industry. As part of the Canada-St. Vincent project, and to assist those implementing the project, a set of
baseline studies were carried out in five communities targeted to receive assistance under the Project. The field work for the
baseline was carried out between December 1990 and June 1991. This report is part of a series of reports in five volumes,
resulting from the baseline research. This report contains profiles of fisheries in three communities (Paget Farm, Union
Island and Canouan) in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This report is the output of a fishing enterprise study conducted as
part of the community studies carried out in the communities of Paget Farm in Bequia, Ashton and Clifton on Union Island
and the whole community of the island of Canouan. In addition to the Grenadines communities studies, the fishing boat
owners operating from Fishermen’s Beach near Kingstown were also surveyed and these results were included in this
report. This report provides the results of the fishing enterprise surveys and other supportive fisheries data. The report
comprises types of fishing; fishing base, location and frequency of fishing; species and amounts landed; fish markets and
marketing; volume landed and value of landings; fishing inputs (gear, engines, gasoline, bait); crew structure and sharing in
catch; returns from fishing; and fisheries development issues in each of the communities surveyed.

This report was initiated due to the concerns relating to driving habits, vehicle numbers and size, and vehicle noise. The
purpose of the study was to propose actions and standards to improve the overall driving environment which were limited
and practical as possible.
