St Vincent delegation to get firsthand experience of whale watching in Dominican Republic
Published on March 16, 2013 Email To Friend    Print Version

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent -- A five-member delegation from the whaling community in Bequia, including a seasoned whaler, left St Vincent and the Grenadines on Thursday for the Dominican Republic to get firsthand experience of whale-watching.

The visit of the team is part of an initiative by the National Trust to promote whale-watching on the island of Bequia, traditionally known for whale hunting. The purpose of the mission is to expose the team to the firsthand experience of whale watching.

The team will be hosted in the Dominican Republic by Peter Sanchez, the administrator of the Dominican Republic Marine Whale Sanctuary, and facilitated by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic.

Members of the delegation will be involved in whale-watching trips, in different parts of the Sanctuary and will receive training in whale-watching regulations and in whale-watching marketing and economics.

It is good to read something POSITIVE coming from St.Vincent and the Grenadines. All we get from CNN is a diet of Hate of our leader Comrade Ralph Gonsalves and the governing ULP Administration. ‘Eat your heart out’ to Peter Binose, Allan Palmer, and other ‘Accomplished Failures’ who abandoned duty when called on to develop SVG.
