Saline Island is a small, 64 acre islet between Grenada and Carriacou (Grenadines).[1] It is located next to Frigate Island. There is a single watchman living in a 2 bedroom house. The island contains a large salt pond and has a wildlife population consisting of wild goats, sea turtles, and birds.[2] The remains of an ancient lime kiln are also on the island.[3]
