Fowl Cay: The Diving Experience

by Conch SaladHighlightsPosted on One Comment

Abaco’s Fowl Cay became a Bahamian National Park in 2009, 35 years after the first proposal for its protection was submitted to the Government. A later video will look at that process, this is the story of divers and their experience at Fowl Cay. The dive industry was a major factor in the Park’s creation. Diving is an important factor in the Bahamian economy and a mainstay of the ecotourism industry. If you like the video please let us know by making a comment.

A profile of unsung sculptor Stephen Burrows, who created the unique steel creatures that decorate four different islands of The Bahamas: Exuma, San Salvador, Abaco and Nassau. Mr. Burrows donated his art to the country, the only payment he received was in the form of scholarships for Bahamian students. Although retired from BEC, the artist hasn’t given up his dreams of creating one more final, giant sculpture.

Lionfish Invasion, Part 3

by Conch SaladCooking, Culture, HighlightsPosted on 12 Comments

The final part of “The Lionfish Invasion” demonstrates that lionfish can be safely caught, cleaned, cooked, eaten and sold.  In fact, eating lionfish may be one of the only ways to stem their spread! We hope this video will help make Bahamians, and others throughout the Carribbean, aware of the threats of lionfish – and show them not to fear lionfish, but to eat ’em.
