• Description:
  "The aim of the project was to implement appropriate anti-erosion infrastructures that are sustainable and compatible with traditional crops grown on steep and unstable slopes. The project area drains through the Soufriere River that ultimately empties into the Soufriere marine zone which is Management by the Soufriere Marine Management Area (SMMA). Project activities included the establishment of a database, community sensitization on soil and watershed conservation, training of farmers in soil conservation practices, and implementation of soil conservation works"--Conclusions.
