A learning curve exist among Grenadian youths whereby the island?s vulnerability to environmental changes are under estimated and disregarded. Grenada, a small island to the south of the Caribbean Sea has an economy that is highly dependent on Agriculture and Eco Tourism is very susceptible to negative environmental changes. Receding shorelines, landslides and flooding, hurricanes and dying coral reefs are all visible indicators of climate changes on the island.
