NAMES on DOMINICA Dominica Was Occupied Successively by Speakers
NAMES ON DOMINICA BY DOUGLAS TAYLOR *) Dominica was occupied successively by speakers of Arawakan, Cariban, French, and English dialects, all of which have left their mark in place-names, as well as in the names of local flora and fauna. African influence appears to have been minimal in this respect. The Arawakan language of the island's early in- habitants survived that of the Carib invaders (from which, how- ever, many words were borrowed), but the last native speaker died about 1920. Two languages are spoken today: English and a dialect of French Creole. The former, being the language of prestige, is usually employed by the more socio-economically privileged minority, the latter by the peasant majority, few of whom know much English. However, members of the first class often resort to Creole in their more intimate relations; while many among even the poorest peasants may be heard addressing young children in what they believe to be English, and chiding them for speaking "Patois". One curious result of this situation is that not only local fruits, trees, fishes, birds, e/c., but also many places — probably most of those that have ever been recorded in writing — have two (or more) names, the one em- ployed in Creole and the other in English speech. So, for example, Grande Anse or Portsmouth is the island's second largest town, Charlotteville or New Town is a suburb of the capital Roseau (which has no other name), Cachacrou or Scots Head is a peninsula at the island's southwestern extremity, Cachibona of Clyde is one of its rivers.

Socio-Economic Monitoring Assessment of Coastal Management in the Colihaut, Dublanc and Bioche Villages of Dominica
Socio-economic monitoring assessment of coastal management in the Colihaut, Dublanc and Bioche villages of Dominica ALTHIA ST. LOUIS, DERRICK THEOPHILE, JULLAN DEFOE, RHIANNAN PRICE AND ROSETTE LEWIS Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) University of the West Indies, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences Cave Hill Campus, Barbados 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Coastal management has justifiably become a priority throughout the world. The ecological and economic value of coastlines, reefs, beaches, fisheries, and marine life cannot be underestimated as the steady degradation of natural resources prevails worldwide. To avoid complete loss of such resources, decisions that impact the fragile coastal ecosystem must be carefully determined by the gamut of stakeholders. Sustainable development has delineated guidelines for improved management, but the process to sustainability is thwarted by a lack of information and conflicting stakeholder agendas. An inherent lack of information makes socio-economic monitoring an important key in determining the most effective management strategies. Accounting for social, cultural, and economic influences strengthens the decision-making process by giving it a more accurate, holistic approach. Often, these influences are remembered only as they are passed down generation to generation, and subsequently, this anthropological information can be lost as values and traditions shift or change over time. The strength of the socio-economic assessment is the preservation of these important social and cultural values, not in isolation, but in tandem with equally significant factors such as economics and scientific data. The purpose of this study is to preserve a social, cultural, and economic portrait of three coastal communities so that existing and future scientific data can be useful for their sustainable development.
