Site description (2007 baseline)
Point Des Fous is located between the villages of GrandBay and Scotts Head in the south Atlantic coast and serves as one of the most important sites for seabird on Dominica. The area is in close proximity to Petite Coulibri Estate and Morne Fous Estate. Due to the steep nature of its terrain, human activity has been restricted to a large extent. Human settlements are approximately 2km north and south of the site.
