Description: 

The Barbados Marine Trust was formed in May 2000 and dedicated to promoting environmentally and socially sustainable use of the Marine areas of Barbados. The membership includes individuals from many different user groups-fishers, dive-operators, hoteliers, water-sports operators, business people, school children, and the community in general. , , The Trust wishes to play a major role in assisting the Government of Barbados in the implementation of marine management initiatives. It intends to show how proper management of our marine resources can result in a healthy and productive marine environment thereby providing a legacy for future generations. , , Protecting our reefs ensures that our economy, community, and the livelihoods of our people are sustained. The Trust intends to implement a long-term plan, which will enable us to educate the population _in particular our children- on the importance of, and need for a permanent policy for the future of our marine resources.,
