Talk:Islands of Trinidad and Tobago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How come I count only 22 islands?
- Because I'm not sure what the 23rd one is. Guettarda 13:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Where did you get theinfo about there being 23 islands ? Is it possible they're counting Patos which was handed over to Venezuela ?
- Doubtful - the number comes from the Archipelagic Waters and Exclusive Economic Zone Act No 24 of 1986. Counting Patos would not have produced a boundary which was in any way acceptable to Venezuela (boundary negotiations in 1990 with Venezuela were in regard to the Galleons Passage) Guettarda 02:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
we'll I'm reading the book "Western isles of Trinidad " and 2 points pop to mind
1. Huevos becuase of erosion is now two island not one, and it might be that which is counted.
2. the book mentions a Parasol Rock....that might the 23rd island. xerex 200.1.109.8 (talk) 15:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
