The NPDP reflects the research and analysis of the consulting team, in addition to the significant input of stakeholders through extensive consultation that was conducted, as well as feedback from the National Planning Workshop participants. The NPDP contains four key deliverables that are required under the Terms of Reference. These include: (1) the NPDP, (2) the institutional framework plan, (3) the investment action plan, and (4) the monitoring and evaluation framework. Each of these deliverables are provided in this single document so that the relationships between them can be effectively captured. The NPDP is at the forefront of this package (Parts A and B), comprising a summary of how the Plan came about, its vision and functional policies, and the investment action plan which stems from the policies outlined in the NPDP. The other two deliverables form the latter portion of this document (Part C) and represent the institutional strengthening and plan monitoring that will help the BVI achieve the NPDP’s vision. We trust that you will find this Draft Plan in order. Should you have any questions or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at the coordinates provided in our letterhead or telephone +1.284.541.6288.

Byer3 INTRODUCTION There has been a recent surge of interest in the biogeography of archipelagoes owing to a reinterpretation of classical concepts of evolution of insular populations, factors controlling numbers of species on islands, and the dynamics of inter-island dispersal. The literature on these subjects is rapidly accumulating; general reviews are presented by Mayr (1963) , and Baker and Stebbins (1965) . Carlquist (1965, 1974), Preston (1962 a, b), ~ac~rthurand Wilson (1963, 1967) , MacArthur et al. (1973) , Hamilton and Rubinoff (1963, 1967), Hamilton et al.

  • 8 Day Itinerary Suggestion in the Bvis, from Beef Island to Beef Island, Tortola the Virgin Islands…
    8 Day Itinerary Suggestion in the BVIs, from Beef Island to Beef Island, Tortola The Virgin Islands… Lush, tropical islands indented with sugar-white beaches and surrounded by deep turquoise seas. Tranquil, get-away-from-it-all islets and bays side by side with the glamour and sophistication of some of the world’s most exclusive resorts and yacht clubs. Is it any wonder that the Caribbean has always been, and still is, one of the most popular cruising grounds in the world? The chain of Caribbean islands sweeps southwards in an arc, creating stepping-stones from Florida to Venezuela. At the northern tip are the Virgin Islands. Comprising some 60 tiny islets and cays, the British islands offer excellent sailing and a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. With short passages between them it’s easy to hop from one island to another comfortably. Here you can moor in horseshoe bays of white sand beaches dotted with palm trees. The water beneath you is so clear that you have the feeling you are literally floating on air.

  • The Eradication of Black Rats (Rattus Rattus) from Dog Island, Anguilla, Using Ground-Based Techniques

The eradication of black rats (Rattus rattus) from Dog Island, Anguilla, using ground-based techniques The eradication of black rats (Rattus rattus) from Dog Island, Anguilla, using ground-based techniques E. Bell1, J. Daltry2, F. Mukhida3, R. Connor4 and K. Varnham5 1Wildlife Management International Limited, PO Box 607, Blenheim 7240, New Zealand, <[email protected]>. 2Fauna & Flora International, The David Attenborough Building, Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3QZ, United Kingdom. 3Anguilla National Trust, The Valley, Anguilla. 4 Department of Environment, Government of Anguilla, The Valley, Anguilla. 5 RSPB, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. Abstract Rat eradication techniques developed in New Zealand are a proven method for removing invasive rodents from islands worldwide. This technology moved rapidly from ground-based bait station operations to aerial application of rodenticides. Rat eradications on tropical islands using similar methods, have not always been as successful as those in temperate regions. As most previous eradications in the Caribbean have been on islands smaller than 50 ha, the eradication of black rats (Rattus rattus) from 207 ha Dog Island was a significant increase in size. Reptile and seabird populations on Dog Island had been in decline for a number of years and black rats were identified as the most likely factor. Following the feasibility study in 2007, the Dog Island Recovery Project was launched in 2011. This was a multiple-year project incorporating a ground-based eradication with establishment of biosecurity procedures to prevent reinvasion, alongside long-term monitoring of native species.

  • Sample BVI Itinerary
    HOPE’S RECOMMENDED BVI & USVI ANCHORAGES First of All…..when you get off the plane….. stop, close your eyes, take a very deep breath in and as you breathe out, remove the “real world” from your mind as fast as possible and for the rest of your vacation! Concentrate on soaking in the beauty around you and settle into the island lifestyle. No one else is in a hurry there, so you may as well get into the same groove as quickly as possible. Note # 2: This itinerary starts and ends in Soper’s Hole, West End, Tortola, BVI, but you can pick it up anywhere and go from there or go the other direction (clockwise) if preferred. Keep in mind that the prevailing winds are from the East; just North of East in Winter months, and just South of East in summer. In the winter months swells can come in from the North from systems happening up north which can make some (northern facing) beaches and anchorages rolly or unwieldy (Cane Garden Bay, the Baths, etc) so always have a plan B when setting up a float plan! DAY ONE If you want to visit St. John this would be a good time. Nice downwind sail to one of the beautiful beaches, Leinster, Maho, Francis Bay etc. (Check in required at Cruz Bay) Alternatively sail on a nice beam reach to either Norman Island or Peter Island and sail counter-clockwise around Tortola. Pick up a mooring at the Indians, Pelican Island, off Norman Island (there are only about 5 moorings there so you may have to go to the caves or the Bight and come back later if full) Absolutely wonderful snorkeling here above and around this fascinating rock outcropping.
