11603875.Pdf PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Rehabilitation of Artisanal Fishery and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Antigua and Barbuda a study team from April 1 to May 4, 2000. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Antigua and Barbuda in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for their close cooperation extended to the teams. November, 2000 Kunihiko Saito President Japan International Cooperation Agency November, 2000 Letter of Transmittal We are pleased to submit to you the basic design study report on the Project for Rehabilitation of Artisanal Fishery in Antigua and Barbuda. This study was conducted by ECOH Corporation, under a contract to JICA, during the period from March 27, 2000 to November 30, 2000. In conducting the study, we have examined the feasibility and rationale of the project with due consideration to the present situation of Antigua and Barbuda and formulated the most appropriate basic design for the project under Japan’s grant aid scheme. Finally, we hope that this report will contribute to further promotion of the project.

  • CBD First National Report
    Antigua and Barbuda’s First National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity Office of the Prime Minister St. John’s Antigua and Barbuda March 2001 Prepared under UNDP Project ANT/97/G31/1G Biodiversity Enabling Activity Project PREFACE Preparation of Antigua and Barbuda’s first National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) represents an important milestone in the country’s effort to achieve sustainable management of its natural resources. This exercise is an important element of efforts to stimulate awareness, both nationally and wider afield, of the significance of the country’s biological wealth and of the threats presently confronting these resources. The aim is to provide an overview of the importance of Antigua and Barbuda’s biodiversity, the preservation and management efforts presently underway, and the directions sought as the country fulfills its obligations as a signatory of the CBD. This report represents the culmination of efforts by a number of individuals and organizations. Initial work on an Inventory of biological resources was conducted by Island Resource Foundation through Dr. Bruce Horwith. An analysis of policy options for meeting the goals and objectives of the CBD was undertaken by Daven Joseph and Associates. Following this, a draft Biodiversity and Action Plan was prepared by Mrs. Cheryl Jeffrey-Appleton and Mr. McRonnie Henry. That document formed the basis for the final BSAP prepared by Mrs. Dawn Marshall. At all stages of this process, emphasis has been placed on stakeholder involvement and appreciation is extended to the participants of the various workshops and consultations held in Antigua and Barbuda prior to the preparation of the report.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Between 1670 and 1785, the plantation elite on the British island of Antigua built and maintained at least fifty-four fortifications to protect the island from other European competitors. Rather than being commissioned, engineered, and defended by the metropolitan government in London, the defense of the island was the sole purview of the Antiguan legislature. Money, designs, and locations for these defensive sites came from internal deliberations on the island making them unique places to study iterations of seventeenth and eighteenth century British colonialism, elite thinking, and the impact on the landscape. To interpret these sites, I use archaeological, archival, and spatial analyses to investigate their ability to provide the types of external defenses they were designated for, as well as test the corollary explanation that the forts played a role in providing internal security for the island. Neither paradigm, however, adequately explains the spatial distribution, architectural decisions, or addresses the heterogenous fort societies revealed in this research.

Leeward Islands MARINE TURTLES OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS, LESSER ANTILLES BY INTRODUCTION Although marine turtles are conspicuous members of the Caribbean fauna, significant gaps remain in our knowledge of their distribution and status within the region. Nowhere is knkledge more fragmentary than for the Lesser Antilles which, following the definition of Bond (1978) , include those islands fro:> Saba and Anguilla south and east to Barbados and Grenada. Comprising 17 major islands and 16 banks, the Lesser Antilles lie in an arc some 630 km long, and provide nesting and foraging habitats for four species of marine turtles: the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) , hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) , leatherback (Dermochelys cor iacea) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) . Although the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) .occurs peripherally in the wider Caribbean region, it is considered a waif in the Lesser Antilles. Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempi) has not been recorded from this reg ion. The present papa is concerned with the marine turtle fauna of the . northern group of islands of the Lesser Antilles, the Leewards (Fig.
