Breaking News: Enviromental Group to hold conference on developments in the Bahamas
Save the Bahamas!
RSVP and receive a password and instructions for making on line reservations at discounted rate!
RSVP by email to---> p3789@aol.com
The Save Guana Cay Reef Association and other like minded Environmental and
Local Rights Groups feel that there is strength in numbers, and if we could create an organization that could unify our efforts on a national scale we could all help each other.
Please join us in Freeport for an important event! We want to create a “Save The Bahamas” NGO.
Save Guana Cay Reef Association, invites you, along with other interested representatives from the island communities , the scientific community, and other concerned parties in meeting together to discuss the issues we are all currently facing. We recognize that the development of mega resorts and the rampant environmental destruction of our islands is a problem that is affecting us all. We also realize the issue is a large one that encompasses the giving away of Crown land, the permitting process and the lack of consultation with local government by central government and developers.
The time to make a difference is now. This meeting is a terrific chance for you to voice your concerns, ask questions, and learn what you can do to make a huge difference.
By opening the lines of communication between people with a shared concern our ability to affect change grows exponentially. Save Guana Cay Reef has had tremendous success recently with two favorable rulings in the highest court in the land, The Privy Council.
We would like to hear your stories. We would like to hear your concerns and your ideas. We can share our experience and form a very powerful lobbying group. Let's ride the tide of recent media coverage of this important issue.
We can make it work for us! We can change the awful course this
unchecked, ill-planned development has set The Bahamas on!
We have secured a beautiful hotel with discounted rooms at a convenient location directly adjacent to The Port Lucaya Marketplace!
http://www.portlucayamarketplace.com/
We have chosen this location because it allows guests a wide range of
options for restaurants because we understand that
with trying to raise money for our various causes we must keep the wallet in mind! It will be a great time and we are all looking forward to seeing you there!
