Trouble in The Tobago Cays

Found in the Caribbean country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the uninhabited Tobago Cays offer a natural pristine anchorage, palm-lined white sand beaches, unique island formations and a coral reef system of great environmental importance.

The Tobago Cays are legally established as a Wildlife Reserve and Marine Conservation Area, as well as a National Marine Park, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. However, the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is currently considering a proposal that would hand over the management of this pristine area to Palm Island Resorts Limited, a company which is seeking to develop the area for private interests and financial gain.
