Save Bimini



Bimini Islands are a group of subtropical islands, part of the Great Bahama Bank, 86 km east of Miami. I've been in Bimini last year, participating in a field research on the beautiful lemon shark Negaprion brevirostris, as my final stage for my BS degree. These islands are most famous to serve as a nursery for the lemon sharks and believe me they're a natural paradise on Earth. Unfortunately a huge catastrophic action has been taken against Bimini Bay by The Hilton Hotels Corporation. In fact a massive destruction of all the mangroves has started for building a resort for tourists and I saw it my self, I was disgusted and full of anger. Please to know more about it and to protest against it, visit BIMINI BAY RESORT DESTROYS BIMINI.

Oh thank you, Vale!! I was so sad to read about this resort and all the potential destruction involved. I wrote my own letter and sent it off to Hilton Hotels already!

Thank you for this. I can't even comprehend how it's legal for anything to be done to that area if there are many endangered species that are known to live and breed there. How horrible. I checked out the website and hope to write a letter soon.
