  1. Banana Industry Trust/ Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry & Fisheries National Forest Demarcation & Bio-Physical Resource Inventory Project Vijay Datadin GIS & Data Management Specialist

  2. Banana Industry Trust/ Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry & Fisheries National Forest Demarcation & Bio-Physical Resource Inventory Project The Saint Lucia Forestry Department has embarked on a process … new forest sector management plan. Important in the management plan will be redefining the department’s mission to conform to an ecosystem approach to the management of forest resources.

  3. Banana Industry Trust/ Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry & Fisheries National Forest Demarcation & Bio-Physical Resource Inventory Project Prerequisites to plan formulation and implementation are delineation of the forest resource, and determining the quantity and quality/ nature/ characteristics of the biophysical resources. To plan what to do where, you’ve got to know where is what.
