"Land and ocean are inextricably linked together.
Parks are the symbol of this relationship. The economic success of small
ocean nations such as the British Virgin Islands is dependant upon the
sustainable management of its parks .
”The British Virgin Islands has an unparalleled
opportunity to strengthen and protect its economic future by protecting
its parks and the other land and oceans which surround them. As a Governor
of the Trustees of the BVI National Parks, USA., I look forward to working
with the Parks and the Government on this challenging and historically
important project."
