FD Presentation. J. Chub met with resort owners and said
willing to give presentation – had no takers yet
Was planned and funded, but nobody would take on project
– took too long to be approved
Placencia fishermen wanted to manage southern
half…shelved. Momentum lost
Grant from PACT earmarked for schools…targeted schools in
Dangriga and Hopkins. All schools did site visits. Boardwalk
not completed (Twin Cayes). Boardwalk will be constructed
this year near Fisheries Dept area. Want to continue this
programme
Could be addressed if the AC evolves into membership
