The main objective of the project is to carry out a detailed assessment of the coastal biodiversity of Anegada leading to the formulation of a Biodiversity Action Plan.

This will involve:

  1. Integrated documentation and scientific monitoring of three important taxa:
    • birds
    • marine turtles
    • plants
  2. Institutional strengthening and capacity building.
  3. Involvement of the general public and key stakeholder groups.
