An evaluation of socio-economic conditions and environmental interactions on a section of the east coast of Grenada

"Socio-economic monitoring (SocMon) in Grenada commenced in late May 2008 with a training workshop in the east coast town of Grenville, the site selected for the project. SocMon Grenada was part of a regional project Socio-economic monitoring by Caribbean Fishery Authorities (Fisheries SocMon) funded by a US Coral Reef Conservation grant for and jointly implemented by the Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, and the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM). Grenada opted to participate in this project because of the perception at the Fisheries Division that certain east coast communities were impacting on coastal ecosystems in a manner that was likely to negatively affect the quality of life of those communities over time. The survey site, which is located along the east coast of mainland Grenada encompasses nine villages and one town. Within the site there are a variety of coastal resources which impact and are impacted upon mostly by adjoining communities. These resources include the sea itself, coral reefs, seagrass communities, beaches, mangroves wetlands and typical coastal vegetation. Human utilization include s sand mining, charcoal production, fishing and agriculture (both plant and animal husbandry)" 2010 CoRIS (Coral Reef Information System) Library Public Domain 1930

格林纳达的社会经济监测（Socio-economic monitoring，下称SocMon）项目于2008年5月末启动，首个环节是在项目选定的东海岸城镇格林维尔举办培训工作坊。格林纳达SocMon项目是加勒比渔业主管部门区域社会经济监测项目（Socio-economic monitoring by Caribbean Fishery Authorities，下称Fisheries SocMon）的组成部分，该项目由美国珊瑚礁保护专项基金资助，由西印度群岛大学凯夫山校区资源管理与环境研究中心（Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies，下称CERMES）与加勒比区域渔业机制（Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism，下称CRFM）联合实施。格林纳达之所以参与该项目，源于该国渔业部门的研判：部分东海岸社区对沿海生态系统的干扰行为，长期来看可能会对这些社区的生活质量造成负面影响。本次调查的场地位于格林纳达本岛东海岸，涵盖9个村庄与1个城镇。该区域内拥有多种沿海资源，这些资源大多与周边社区存在双向的相互影响关系：既对周边社区产生作用，同时也受其活动的影响。这些资源包括海域本身、珊瑚礁、海草床群落、海滩、红树林湿地以及典型的沿海植被。人类对这些资源的利用方式包括采砂、木炭生产、渔业以及农牧业（涵盖种植业与畜禽养殖）。本数据集收录于2010年珊瑚礁信息系统（Coral Reef Information System，下称CoRIS）馆藏库，为公有领域内容，编号1930。
