Oceans & Climate:

Sea Level Rise 1 meter by 2100 James Hansen: 1.5 degrees AOSIS: 1.5 to stay alive!

> 1 meter by 2065; 50 years time 1 degree more = 16 to 30 feet! 2 degrees C is dangerous

Other Storm surge Coral bleaching (30% in 2005) Change in migratory fish patterns

Acidification 30% - 40% of CO2 goes to oceans, rivers & lakes CO2 + H2O = ACID Between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have

decreased from approximately 8.25 to 8.14,[5] representing an increase of almost 30% in H+ ion concentration in the world's oceans

St. George’s, Grenada The new Monte Carlo of the Caribbean

Gateway to the Grenadines Billionaires’ Hide-away

Grenada’s location in the southern Caribbean -- in the “best cruising grounds” and below the hurricane belt -- attracts the world largest super yachts. Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Larry Ellison, Rupert Murdoch and leading global billionaires come to Grenada to sail away on super-yachts. Russian oligarchs with some of the world’s largest and most charismatic yachts also come to Grenada. The Grenadine islands have been home to Princess Margaret, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and others.

The World’s largest Mega Yachts come to Grenada

Maritime Heritage Grenada’s location and its marine environment and maritime heritage make Grenada a natural site for a super-yacht marina. The islands maritime heritage and culture produces an admirable fleet of artisanal hand crafted wooden sloops that ply Caribbean waters. National Geographic has highlighted Grenada’s underwater sculpture park as one of the top 25 wonders of the world.

Spice Trading Harbour “The Spice Island”, as Grenada is called, is the world’s second largest exporter of nutmegs. Historically a spice trading harbor, St. George’s has been called “the prettiest little harbour in the Caribbean”; “The Portofino of the Caribbean”

Spice Trading Harbour Today, St. George’s Harbour is attracting yachts and super-yachts of all sizes following investment from international players like Peter de Savary and Camper Nicholson. The Grenada Government is exploring options to turn the entire of St. George’s Harbour into a mega-yacht hub to serve the Southern Caribbean. St. George’s shares many similaries with Gustavia in St. Barts, Monte Carlo and Portofino.
