Galleon Beach Fishing Sanctuary
In 2011 Breds approached the government to establish the Galleon Beach Fishing Sanctuary that encompasses over 625 acres of Caribbean Sea. The sanctuary employs five full time wardens and a manager. This project was initiated in response to the concerns expressed by the local fishing community that overfishing was taking place leading to a significant reduction in the volume of the catch being experienced by local fishermen. This site was carefully selected by director Dennis Abrahams who thought it presented the ideal conditions for the breeding of marine life, mangrove growth and nesting for birds such as the Osprey that now also breeds in the wetlands adjoining the sanctuary.
