Concerned residents of Abaco are calling on the developers of Bakers Bay and the Discovery Land Company to recommence their monitoring of the reef systems around Guana Cay.
Environmental group Abaco CARES said proper independent scientific studies need to be done to determine the cause of sustained reef damage.
A statement said:
“Abaco CARES was formed by people who care about Abaco – whether it’s the environment, the use of harmful petroleum products to run power plants, or protecting the blue holes of Abaco.
“We have a duty to protect the beauty of Abaco because that is the main reason why people come here.
“All of us – locals by birth, Bahamians that have fallen in love with Abaco and moved here, second homeowners who have chosen to invest in Abaco, visitors to our beautiful Abaco, and most important, the resorts of Abaco that employ so many of us – need to take a look at ourselves and see if we are doing all we can to protect the environment of Abaco. If the clean water is gone, our tourists will be gone too.”
