Trinidad Northeast Coastal Development Information Portal

This page in an information resource for all interested in learning and making informed decisions regarding the sustainable coastal development of North Eastern Trinidad.

The current focus is developing the future economy of Trinidad’s northeast peninsula as the last “clean and green” corner of the island versus industrializing the region.  

In the year 2000, Stakeholders Against Destruction (SAD) for Toco presented an Alternative Development Plan to the proposed Toco Port & Ferry Project. Twenty years later their plan remains as relevant as ever in response to the new Toco port, whose design iterations can be reviewed as presented in News articles over the decades.
