CHIEF SECRETARY Farley Augustine says he has asked the government to give the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) the legislative authority to effectively police marine parks on the island.

He was delivering the feature address at the launch of the book, Coral Reefs of Trinidad and Tobago, at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex, Tobago, on June 10.

The book was written by Newsday columnist Dr Anjani Ganase, a coral reef ecologist and senior researcher at the Institute of Marine Affairs.
