Back Bay is one of Tobago’s most important nesting beaches for both leatherback and hawksbill turtles — species that are globally threatened and legally recognised as Environmentally Sensitive Species (ESS) in T&T. SOS Tobago has monitored Courland Bay (Back Bay, Grafton & Turtle Beach) for over 20 years, and our data shows just how critical this small stretch of undeveloped beach is. Although Back Bay represents only 14% of Courland Bay by length, it hosts nearly half of the hawksbill nests we record, and consistently supports high-density leatherback nesting given its size. Its intact vegetation (mostly made up by poisonous manchineel trees) provides dark nights and stable sand temperatures, making it one of the last remaining refuges for successful nesting in Tobago. The reef is also home to resident juvenile green and hawksbills, making its protection essential. We strongly urge the public to review the EIA and submit comments — your participation is essential to ensuring that decisions about this irreplaceable coastline are informed, transparent and responsible.

Did you know the public has a legal role in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process?

For the Rocky Point development, anyone can review the EIA and submit questions, concerns, or objections and the EMA is required to consider all public comments before making a final decision to grant or deny permission to proceed with the proposed development.

This is your opportunity to help protect Tobago’s environment, coastal access, and cultural heritage. 🌊🌿

We’ll be sharing simple guidance to help you prepare and submit your feedback.
