RE: South Abaco Blue Holes Conservation Area
Rt. Honorable Prime Minister Ingraham,
I would like to take this opportunity to show my full support for the proposed South
Abaco Blue Holes Conservation Area located on Abaco Island, Bahamas. The blue holes
and underwater caves found within the proposed area are some of the greatest treasures
ever bestowed up on the islands of the Bahamas.
This conservation area proposal is a partnership between the Bahamas Caves Research
Foundation, The Antiquities Monuments and Museums Corporation, Friends of the
Environment and the Bahamas National Trust as well as the local people of Abaco.
Scientists and explorers have proven that the sites within the proposed area contain the
vast amounts of previously unknown Bahamian history from long before the first humans
ever stepped foot on the beaches of these islands.
The inland caves here have been revered by cave divers and explorers for many years as
the most exquisitely decorated underwater caves on planet earth. Massive rooms filled
with clear and white crystals of every description and size have brought the likes of
National Geographic Magazine and Nova to these sites in order to document the amazing
discoveries found beneath the pine forests of the proposed area. This new found
publicity has created a unique niche in eco-tourism for Abaco and people from all around
the globe have come to the Bahamas specifically to dive in these amazing caves.
Please consider my letter of support for the South Abaco Blue Holes Conservation Area
as I feel these caves are truly a national treasure for the Bahamas as well as literal time
vaults of Bahamian history.
Sincerely,
Name:
