The Barbados Marine Trust (BMT) is a non-profit environmental NGO and charity (Charity #549) with the aim of protecting and preserving the Barbados marine environment, and educating the public about one of Barbados' most vital resources - the sea. 

In 2008, which is the International Year of the Reef, BMT will be hosting a series of MONTHLY LIMES which will be held on the first Friday of each month. The Limes will feature short, informative presentations on issues related to the marine environment by experts in the fields as well as BMT Personnel. Topics that BMT are aiming to cover include Coral Reefs, Coastal Hazards, Beach Erosion, Marine Pollution, Coastal Developments amongst others.

The upcoming Lime will feature a presentation entitled 'Coastal Hazards' which will be delivered by Dr. Lorna Inniss - Deputy Director of the Coastal Zone Management Unit (c/o the Local Ministry of Environment)

The Limes, in addition to increasing public awareness about our marine resources, will also serve to increase the membership base of the Barbados Marine Trust.

The Limes will be staged in a relaxed beach Cafe setting where persons can come, relax and be informed - at Finally Michael's Beach Cafe (c/o Underwater Barbados) which is on Carlisle Bay, Bay Street, St. Michael. (Opposite the Roman Catholic Church and next to the Old Fish Market on Carlisle Bay). Parking is available in the parking lot in front of the Old Fish Market. Refreshments will also be on sale.

For further information, feel free to contact the Trust at (246) 228 8071 or send and e-mail to info@barbadosmarinetrust.com.

All are invited to come out and attend the BMT Monthly Lime this and every first Friday of the month!
