Lead Ed­i­tor-News­gath­er­ing

At Tues­day’s launch of the book Coral Reefs of Trinidad and To­ba­go, in Shaw Park, Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine chal­lenged the na­tion to pro­tect its blue as­sets-not $100 bills but rather what lies be­neath the sur­face of the sea.

Au­thored by An­jani Ganase, the 40-page book pro­vides a sci­en­tif­ic un­der­stand­ing of the na­tion’s reefs. It of­fers a com­pre­hen­sive ex­plo­ration of the bi­ol­o­gy, bio­di­ver­si­ty and eco­log­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance of reef-build­ing corals across T&T.
