Caribbean wildlife offers exquisite coral reefs. These have developed over thousands of years, aided by the warming influence of the Gulf Stream. The Reefs occur in warm, shallow water, and form a unique habitat for many species.
The coral are quite fragile and easily damaged. Pollution from shipping, offshore mining, and industry can kill living coral quite quickly, thus depriving other species of their natural habitat. The reefs and the sheltered lagoons they create are important to several species of sea turtle. The Caribbean has hawksbill, loggerhead, green and leatherback turtles. Leatherbacks are huge and can weigh up to half a ton!
The names of the fishes that inhabited the waters of the Caribbean are as exotic and colourful as they are themselves: parrot fish, hog fish, queen trigger fish, butterfly fish, porcupine fish and angel fish, not to mention the predators such as barracuda, swordfish and marlin. Dolphins such as the bottlenose and spinner are also common, having a reputation for swimming close to divers.

When Christopher Columbus came upon the island, his men called it Grenada, as it reminded them of the Andalusian coast of Spain.
Grenada is a three island state : Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique.
Grenada is the largest of the three, with a width of twelve miles (18 km) and a length of twenty-one miles (34 km). The total area is 133 square miles.
The highest point is Mount Saint Catherine, at 2,757 feet.
Carriacou is much less mountainous than Grenada, with an area of 13 square miles and wonderful sandy beaches.
Also known as the Spice Island Grenada has a favorable reputation largely because of the colorful residents who are quite amiable as well as the abundance of nature which comes from the coasts of Grand Anse Beach to the foliage in Grant Etang National Park.
Besides its tourism and vacation appeal, the island has also earned a reputation for its abundance of spices from cocoa and cinnamon to mace, cloves and nutmeg. In fact, a common saying among Grenada locals says to drop a few seeds anywhere and you have an instant garden. The large production of natural spices makes Grenada one of the largest suppliers of nutmeg in the world.
