NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Divers and Environmental NGOs were left outraged after seeing shocking videos, allegedly showing a yacht anchor dragging along reefs in southern New Providence near the Clifton area.
But between fines and prevention, what can be done in situations like this?
Padi Master scuba diver trainer, Samuel Bastian, shared videos of coral reefs near Clifton Bay being dragged by an anchor to his social media pages.
The Department of Environmental Planning and Protection could soon have a hefty twenty thousand dollar fine for those who are found to have damaged coral reefs, but most are hoping preventative action can be taken to avoid future damage altogether.
In a recent interview with The Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation Executive Director Casuarina Mckinney-Lambert, she suggested anchor zones be implemented around New Providence. Bastian echoes those sentiments.
These coral reefs aren’t something that can regrow overnight, or even in the next decade.
