✦ Synopsis
This paper summarizes the efforts of the Organization of American States Department of Regional Development (OAS/DRD ) to assist the Government of Grenada in planning for the management of the Grand Anse Beach area, the Island's most important tourism asset. The quality of the beach and its nearshore reef system have decreased in recent years primarily due to mismanagement of upland areas in the watershed. The paper identifies several inter-related land use management problems and presents a policy and institutional framework for addressing integrated coastal zone management for Grand Anse and for other beach areas in the country.
