Mabouya Island Carriacou - Grenada Carriacou and Petite Martinique Places On Carriacou

(1 Vote)

Mabouya island is located besides Sandy Island in front of Paradise Beach.
The waters around Mabouya are teeming with life.
It is a favorite spot for the local population to go spearfishing or dive for wilks, a species of seafood.
There are currently talks going about selling the island ( Grenada Government needs cash ).
It would be a bad decision, since the extra trafic of boats to the island will frighten the fish.
Result will be a small disaster for the local fishermen, who go to Mabouya to catch their baitfish.
