	San Fernando Hill - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		San Fernando Hill (officially known as Naparima Hill) lies at the centre of the city of San Fernando in Trinidad and Tobago.
		Quarrying on the Hill was not a new phenomenon, but the increase in demand for limestone aggregate (for construction) during the oil boom of the 1970s led to an expansion of quarrying to the point where it appeared that the entire Hill would be removed.
		During the late 1980s the then mayor of San Fernando, Dr. Romesh Mootoo suggested that the City Hall be removed to the Hill, calling it the Acropolis of the Caribbean.

		The San Fernando Hill is located in the centre of the city of San Fernando, which lies on the southwest coast of Trinidad about thirty (30) miles from Port of Spain.
		In most places up the Hill the panoramic view is visible only through a frame of branches; and, while the bare pinnacles remain to tell the tale of an accusing past, their starkness is softened by the contrast of the foliage.
		San Fernando gravel was also used for the network of roads in the canefields and Caroni Limited had a quarry on the Hill.

		The San Fernando Hill is a wonder and spectale in the City of San Fernando and it also protects our community from some of the negative forces of nature but now the hill is under serious threat due to the activities and quarrying on the Hill.
		I realize there is a need for sporting activity and housing in our community but destroying the hill will have more disastrous effects in the future due to the change in fury of weather conditions and more persons in the community will mean more jobs needed for the intended residents.
		To those in authority in the City of San Fernando, please communicate with and work together with the community to address this concern of the San Fernando Hill.
