Juvenile Snapper and Black Mangrove
Originally uploaded by expatkitchen
Mangroves are the nursery grounds for hundreds of marine species, an integral part of the ocean's ecosystem. These same mangroves are being destroyed by a development in Bimini. Despite developer's commitment to a "sustainable" development, the island's ecosystem is being systematically destroyed. The people of Bimini will lose their local fisheries and tourism as a result of this unwise approach to what should have been a beneficial project for the local economy and people. You can stop this.

ReplyDeleteYou are always such an educator. I don't think I could have picked a mangrove out of a lineup before today.
