I first went to Barbados (from Canada) as a graduate student based at the Bellairs Research Institute in 1966-1970. Since 2015, I have returned with my spouse for periods of 6 – 12 weeks in the Jan-Apr interval, except in 2021 and 2022. We’re back in early 2023.
I spend as much time as I can with my head in the water, mostly in the area of Holetown, ‘always make at least one visit to Bath (east coast of Barbados) where I conducted a lot of my PhD research on seagrass beds. I also volunteer with CORALL when I am in Barbados.
This blog/website is a place for me to organize some of my recent, mostly informal observations and related links and literature. Perhaps it will evolve into something more (or not).
