Barbados - a small island standing at the edge of new frontiers with untold natural wonders. Its Exclusive Economic Zone is host to a variety of deep-sea ecosystems and economically important pelagic species. The island itself is home to winding gullies and unique and endemic terrestrial life, many of which are still to be described.
In light of this, the Ministry of Environment, National Beautification and Fisheries returns with its annual Research Frontiers Symposium to shed light on the various research advances occurring in Barbados; a space for knowledge sharing and collaboration which ensures studies are not operating in silos.
How are size regulations being determined for the dolphinfish and what are their migration patterns? What progress has been made with the Marine Spatial Plan? On a small island with many land uses in close proximity, how can we ensure key areas for biodiversity such as Long Pond are aptly protected? These are the questions which will be answered in this year's edition of the symposium.
Join us as we stand at the edge of these new frontiers to learn about the work being done within the Ministry and other partners!
Keep an eye out for the full agenda towards the end of May.
