turtle tracks on beach

The necessary and important world-wide movement to prevent the destruction of sea turtles, sharks and other sea creatures by indiscriminate mass fishing and over-development of beach land around the world has always been a priority on Barbuda, precisely because of local knowledge of our pristine natural beaches and the abundance of important wildlife on them; traditionally Barbudans catch and eat turtle meat. So you can still see turtles laying their eggs, hatching babies and leaving their tracks all over the Barbuda coastline.

But now Barbuda Ocean Club are leading the stampede to build all over their natural habitat, pointlessly fencing off miles of beach (the sea will soon take that out leaving miles of fencing that they will never clear up) and this is one of the many reasons we are challenging these actions in court. But even worse is their cynical cover up. The very people who have caused the damage and destruction are giving themselves awards for doing it.
