THE SUCCESSFUL REMOVAL of dozens of invasive goats from Battowia, one of the Caribbean’s most important seabird nesting islands, has been hailed as a major milestone for the Grenadines Seabird Restoration Project implemented by EPIC and its partners. The Grenadines are home to three globally important and 18 regionally important seabird nesting sites, as well as the most extensive coral reef complex in the southeastern Caribbean. Seabirds are also vital to maritime livelihoods through helping fisherfolk locate fish, navigate at sea, and interpret changing weather conditions. Explaining the process EPIC outlines that the Battowia restoration operation required extensive planning, coordination, and specialized field expertise. Invasive species specialists, with experience in offshore Caribbean island restoration and invasive species removal, were hired to carry out the work with oversight from EPIC’s local field team.
