Article on the management crisis of the Tobago Cays. Doyle discusses and critiques PIRL’s proposal to manage the Tobago
Cays. PIRL’s proposal to mange the Tobago Cays is compared to MEDO’s proposal for management, with Doyle being in
favour of MEDO managing the Park.

The article provides a brief overview of Grenada Fisheries primarily highlighting the area of fisheries policies and plans.
The management objective measures and institutional arrangements for the major fisheries - oceanic pelagic fishery,
demersal fishery and the beach seine inshore pelagic fishery are discussed. The articles also includes details on investment
of fisheries, supply and demand, main fishery regulations and the organisational structure of the National Fisheries
Authority.

In order to assess the environmental impact of the Ashton Marina Project, corals and algae were examined, and 273 water
quality measurements were made at sites in and around Ashton Harbour, Union Island. Blockage of natural water
circulation in the harbour by the causeway has resulted in waters in the western half being very significantly higher in
temperature and salinity and lower in oxygen than the eastern half. Coral reefs, seagrasses, lobsters, conch, and fishes have
already largely disappeared. If the Marina were to be completed, inputs of petroleum hydrocarbons, sewage nutrients, and
oxygen-consuming wastes would turn the western harbour into an oxygen-deficient, polluted, and foul smelling pond.
Action is needed promptly to reverse the damage to reefs, seagrasses, and fisheries caused by blocked circulation. A
community-based strategy is outlined for restoration of the lagoon and its natural flushing rate, by removing the causeway
and fingers, to reestablish the coral reefs, seagrasses, and fisheries.
