Behavioural Change in the Soufriere Watershed for Improved Water Quality in the Soufriere Bay.

This Planning Grant will assist in re-establishing a water quality monitoring system within the Soufriere Watershed. Through the use of primary and secondary research the current status of water quality in the Soufriere River and Coastal Zone (within the Soufriere Marine Management Area) will be determined and the new baseline established. The project will also use a participatory process by convening meetings, holding one-on-one interviews with persons within the community and convening a major community workshop. The outputs of that workshop will serve as the basis for preparing a Full Grant Project Proposal.
