Twenty MSc students in coastal engineering recently went to Grenada on a field trip that yielded much in terms of work, study and relaxation. At the end of the week, there was a visit to the Underwater Sculpture Park, Grenada, and one of the students, Christopher Clarke, found himself in bubbles of euphoria.
Weeks of planning and preparation by Mrs. Charmaine O’Brien-Delpesh of the Centre for Coastal Engineering and Management at The UWI resulted in a very educational and fulfilling expedition to the island of Grenada from March 22-26, 2011.
It was an eager bunch of 20 Coastal Zone Metrics students, comprising 19 Trinidadians and one Barbadian, who landed in Grenada on Tuesday afternoon, along with the academic staff of Professor Andrew Chadwick, Mrs. O’Brien-Delpesh, and Ms. Nadia Mathura. The drive to the accommodation was short, however it was evident that we were tourists as we looked at the surroundings, took photos and asked our drivers and conductors numerous questions. For many of us it was our first time in Grenada, and it was the beginning of an unforgettable experience.
