Tropical dry forests in Trinidad and Tobago include both deciduous and semi evergreen forests. A recent work by Howard Nelson suggests that areas which were formerly classified as evergreen forest also fit the criteria for dry forests. The major areas of dry forest in Trinidad include the Chaguaramas, Trinidad Chaguaramas peninsula in the northwest, areas along the south coast of the island, from Cedros, Trinidad and Tobago Cedros to Morne Diablo , and areas along the east coast including parts of the Guayaguayare , Mayaro Bay Mayaro and Manzanilla, Trinidad and Tobago Manzanilla coastline. In addition, areas along the west coast including San Fernando Hill and much of the former Sugar Belt also would have originally supported dry forest. In Tobago much of the southwest of the island originally supported dry forests. The dominant paradigm in phytosociology in Trinidad and Tobago has been the work of John Stanley Beard carried out in the 1940s. His description of forest associations was physiognomy physiognomically based. Many of his forest associations overlap modern ideas of Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests dry and Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests moist forests.

Unreferenced date August 2009 Commented out because image was deleted Image portkaituma.jpg thumbnail Port Kaituma Waterfront Port Kaituma is a small town within the Barima Waini administrative region of Guyana , located at Coord 7 43 33.87 N 59 53 2.54 W . History Although an Amerindian settlement has existed along the Kaituma River for some time, it was only after the discovery of manganese at nearby Matthew s Ridge that Port Kaituma was developed. As Matthew s Ridge was not located on a navigable river, a canal was cut from the Kaituma River and a port constructed, becoming known as Port Kaituma. At the time of the manganese mining, Port Kaituma had three separate areas. The mine managers house and the guest house were in a large clearing separated by a short road through the forest from the main rail head and manganese loading facility. A longer road lead in the opposite direction to the area known as Bottom Floor where the workers lived. The manganese was transported from Matthew s Ridge via a 40 mile railway and then shipped from Port Kaituma to Chaguaramas Bay in Trinidad, from where it was distributed for industrial use with a large proportion going to Stavanger in Norway. The project was operated by subsidiaries of Union Carbide. Citation needed date August 2009 Two Trinidad and Tobago Trinidadian oil tankers, the Ambrosio and the Inverrosa, were converted into manganese carriers as part of this project. Originally built around the World War I First World War , they had a displacement of some 3,000 tons each. They made the trip from Port Kaituma to Chaguaramas on a regular four day cycle for much of the 1960s. Port Kaituma s significance grew further following the proclamation from the then President of Guyana , Forbes Burnham , that Guyana should become more self sufficient by populating the interior of the country. Matthew s Ridge was highlighted as a potential new capital city, and within Port Kaituma a large Port Kaituma Community School secondary schoo ... more details
Raffique Shah is a Trinidad and Tobago trade union leader and political commentator. He is also a former Member of Parliament and mutineer, having led a mutiny of Trinidad and Tobago Regiment in 1970. He was born the son of a sugar cane worker and housewife in March 1946. His early education was at Presentation College, Chaguanas, where he gained a Grade I Cambridge School Certificate. He later won a cadetship to the prestigious United Kingdom British Royal Military Academy Sandhurst between 1964 and 1966. As a Lieutenant in the Trinidad and Tobago Regiment, he led an army mutiny in 1970. In the midst of Black Power riots, the People s National Movement government led by Eric Williams proclaimed a State of Emergency April, 1970 and arrested several Black Power leaders and Trade Union ists. In a move to prevent Williams from using the military against the masses, a portion of the Regiment stationed at Teteron on the Chaguaramas, Trinidad Chaguaramas Peninsula , led by Lieutenant s Shah and Rex Lassalle mutinied. In response, the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Coast Guard Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard fired on the mutineers who returned to Teteron Barracks, abandoning their foray into Port of Spain. After ten days the mutineers surrendered. The leaders were court martial ed and Shah and Lasalle were jailed. They both went on to win their appeals at the local Court of Appeal, and judges at the Privy Council in London, England, ruled against the State s appeal in July, 1972. Shah, Lassalle and all the other mutineers were freed within 24 hours of that ruling. After being released from prison Shah joined the Trade Union movement leading the ICFTU, a body of cane farmers who sought to displace the government recognised organisation,TICFA. He, George Weekes and Basdeo Panday went on to found the United Labour Front in 1975 as a labor confederation and transformed it into a political party in 1976.

Use dmy dates date February 2012 Refimprove date December 2009 Bhadase Sagan Maraj 1920 1971 was a Trinidad and Tobago politician , religious leader and businessman . He founded the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha in 1952, which grew into the major Hindu organisation in Trinidad and Tobago. Early life Born Bhadase Sagan Maraj in the tiny village of Caroni County Caroni , the young Hindu s first ambition was to take his family out of the poverty, deprivation and degradation that had been their lot ever since his father stepped off an indentured labourers boat. The elder Sagan was a six footer. He was strong, handsome and fearless. It was from him that Bhadase inherited his strong physical characteristics. Citation needed date July 2011 Sagan senior was a devout Hindu, even fanatical. Bhadase developed his over riding ambition to improve the lot of the Hindus from him. But before he could help the Hindus, Bhadase himself had to be strong enough and was a violent man who used violent methods to achieve his wealth and his place in the society. As he would say A weak man is a liability in a fight. Citation needed date July 2011 Bhadase started off to his first million dollars by digging sand for construction purposes in the Caroni River Trinidad and Tobago Caroni River . It was quite a thing to see this strapping young six footer with a long bamboo pole pushing his flat bottomed boat up the Caroni River. Citation needed date July 2011 This was only the beginning, for soon the young Bhadase had bought a truck and was in the transport business.
