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.

Thanks for bringing this important issue to our attention, Valentina.
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.
WOW! I love those pictures! That's aweful that they are doing that! I'm glad Candi wrote to them and that you showed us this info!
