The National Ozone Unit held two sessions of Methyl Bromide
Awareness Training for the Plant Quarantine Division of the Ministry of Food Production, Land and Marine Affairs, Ministry of Trade and Industry 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.
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.
