Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary
Eco-tourism site in Barbados
About
Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary occupies 42 per cent of the Ramsar wetland at Graeme Hall, in Christ Church, Barbados. It is currently managed by the Barbados Wetlands Trust and the Protector of the Trust is Anthony Da Silva. The Trust was formed by Da Silva in late 2024 and the property was purchased in December 2024.
The sanctuary is home to the Graeme Hall Swamp, a mangrove swamp which was a popular tourist attraction until about 2006. However, due to an ongoing dispute between the owner and the Barbados government over uncontrolled pollution, allegedly from bordering government-owned land, it has been closed to the public. Since about 2008 it has increasingly suffered from raids and poaching by locals about which the local police are reportedly doing nothing.
