Safety in Tobago's Tourism Product
Dr Anjani Ganase, marine scientist, discusses core elements for Tobago’s tourism product Buccoo beach is a beautiful stretch of coast - unmarred by concrete buildings - on the edge of Tobago’s 50-year designated marine park. The beach begins west of the Buccoo Fishing Facility and is buttressed by a mangrove forest that protects the shore and provides shelter. The path parallel to the beach offers picturesque views of the wild mangroves on one side and beach and ocean on the other. Moving west along Buccoo Bay, you will arrive in the Marine Park, protected under national legislation.

Local obligations for Ramsar sites are management, monitoring for wise use. Competing interests: horses, boats and beach bathers in the same space at Buccoo Bay.
