Preliminary Assessment of the Ecological Status of Godineau Swamp: Establishing a Socio-Economic Baseline
Clarke-Marshall, M.; Ghouralal, N.
Human activities adjacent to and within a wetland, influence its ecological status. An understanding of the social and economic conditions in the communities within and adjacent to
the Godineau Swamp is fundamental to its sustainable use. The effective functioning of wetland resources is centered on the sustainable management of human activities and
traditional uses. The Godineau Swamp is the second largest wetland system found on the Gulf of Paria of Trinidad. Traditionally the wetland has supported a fish and shellfish
industry and provided land for agriculture livestock farming and housing. Oil exploration has taken place in the Godineau Swamp for the last fifty years and the Swamp continues to
provide several opportunities for ecotourism.

Distribution and Abundance of Finfish in Godineau Swamp
Ramsundar, H.
The Godineau Swamp is home to several species of plants, wildlife, fish and
waterfowl, including our protected Scarlet Ibis. It has been heavily influenced by
anthropogenic activities and probably needs careful regulation of its development in
order to obtain the maximum benefits from the swamp without destroying it. The
Fisheries component of the Godineau Swamp Research Project aims to document the
fish species that live in the swamp, their relative distribution and abundance and
characterize the fishing practices in the area. The first phase has been completed and
the second phase, characterisation of the fishing practices, is carded to begin in mid-
November. The whole Godineau Research project is directed at assessing the ecology
of the swamp in its present state in order to come up with management options for the
area that would allow for sustainable development.
