1wThank you for your splendid efforts in saving this Manatee. In 1993 the Pointe-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust together with a few other NGO's persuaded the then Government to declare the Nariva Swamp (Wetlands)a RAMSAR Site. This was achieved. Nariva & the Ortoire River are homes for the Manatee .It is T&T's First RAMSAR site
