Barbados resident. 75 years old. That's 3/4 of a century

Still wondering WTH happened to justify a reversal of my edit to Wiki page

- and it remains looking like a barren wasteland.

The Barbenthos project
was a privately run marine deepwater bottom-sampling project
based at Holetown, Barbados, West Indies -primarily seeking rare molluscan seashells
but also assisting researchers from the local Bellairs Research Institute (McGill Univ.)
with various offshore tasks of their own.

The project lasted for four years: 1985-1989
and used a converted 19 foot Aquasport work-boat named Barbenthos
equipped with a winch and davit for getting various gear and equipment on board
after retrieval from depth.

In 1989, a new species of Olivella was named after the project
published in La Conchiglia Volume 238-241
with type material deposited at the Zoologisch Museum in Amsterdam.
