barbuda sea turtle project

The necessary and important world-wide movement to prevent the destruction of the habitat of sea turtles, sharks and other creatures by indiscriminate mass fishing and the over-development of beach land around the world has always been a priority on Barbuda. It’s precisely because of local knowledge that we value our undeveloped, pristine natural beaches and the abundance of important wildlife on them. Traditionally Barbudans catch and eat turtle meat but we only take what we need. So you will 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 and this is one of the many reasons we are challenging these actions in court. But even worse is their cynical attempt to cover it up. The very people who are causing the damage and destruction are giving themselves awards for doing it.
