Grenadines Island Group (Grenada)

The Grenadines Island Group of Grenada comprises 11 islands between Grenada and St. Vincent. They have extensive coral reefs, mangroves and seabird colonies. The islands are of volcanic origin and there still is underwater volcanic activity. Culturally, the Grenadines are known as Places of Memory for Garifuna (Carib) people from Belize and there are some pre-Columbian archaeological site. The island group is part of a transboundary proposal with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
