The National Ozone Unit held two sessions of Methyl Bromide Awareness Training for the Plant Quarantine Division of the Ministry of Food Production, Housing, Land and Marine Affairs, Trade, Industry and Investment and the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago who deal specifically with plant quarantine and fumigation.
The sessions were facilitated by Mr. Anthony Ramdeen (Consultant for the Methyl Bromide Phase-Out Project) and Dr. Marissa Gowrie (National Ozone Officer) on March 23, 2012 and May 18, 2012 at the El Socorro Office of the Ministry of Housing and the Environment (now Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources).
The purpose of the training was to increase the awareness of various stakeholder groups on the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and Methyl Bromide, their usage and the alternatives available.
