2 domains mapped · Code: GD
These are jurisdiction-specific research-progress records. They expose first moves, likely actors, and institutional infrastructure where mapped; they are not a claim that every country has a finished statutory memo for all 61 domains.
NON-UNITED STATES TRANSLATION RULE
For countries with fewer than 10 mapped domains, use the United States 61-domain map as the reference corpus, then translate only domains with locally verified regulators, authority hooks, statutes, or dockets.
Grenada's GDP is roughly $1.4 billion (2024, World Bank), built on tourism, nutmeg and cocoa exports, and a small coastal fishery. The market failures most material to this island economy are overexploitation of its reef and pelagic fisheries and the offshore-finance and citizenship-by-investment channels that strain regulatory oversight, with secondary coastal pressure from beach sand extraction tied to construction and tourism.
DOMAINS (2)
Fisheries (reef and pelagic, OECS shared waters)
βW = 1.11
Canonical domain beta-W
Canonical domain beta-W from Fisheries. Local route severity is a country-route triage value and is not used in the aggregate portfolio.
Axiom 1
Axiom 2
Axiom 3
PRIMARY ROUTE:Grenada's fishery operates within the small, monitorable Eastern Caribbean shelf and the OECS/CARICOM shared management area, so catch, effort, and reef decline are directly measurable against landed revenue. Reef degradation and overfishing impose a quantifiable welfare loss on tourism and food security that the bilateral fisher-buyer transaction never prices.

GAME-CHANGE ROUTES
A1Adopt and enforce the CRFM/OECS regional fisheries management plan with licensed effort caps and seasonal closures monitored by the Fisheries Division
A2Expand and patrol marine protected areas (e.g. Sandy Island/Oyster Bed and Moliniere-Beausejour) with reef-recovery targets tied to tourism revenue
A3Use Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism vessel registries and joint surveillance to curb illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in shared waters

Tax Havens / Offshore Finance (offshore sector and citizenship-by-investment)
βW = 1
Canonical domain beta-W
Canonical domain beta-W from Tax Havens and Offshore Finance. Local route severity is a country-route triage value and is not used in the aggregate portfolio.
Axiom 1
Axiom 2
Axiom 3
PRIMARY ROUTE:Grenada hosts an offshore financial sector and a citizenship-by-investment program whose fee and registration flows are recorded but whose due-diligence gaps and tax-base erosion impose costs on partner jurisdictions and on Grenada's own integrity standing. Because the sector is regulated by a single national authority within OECS/ECCB and OECD/FATF frameworks, transparency obligations are auditable and the welfare leakage is computable.
