Click here to help the Abaco Blue Holes Conservation

Calling fellow cave divers and friends of underwater caves. The Bahamian Government has asked us to complete our proposal for the protection of 17 blue holes located here on Abaco Island. We have had a great deal of local support for creating a nine mile long Blue Holes Conservation Area on the southern part of the island which contain some of the most highly decorated underwater caves on earth. If you have dived these sites, or a cave diver that is concerned with the protection of underwater caves, or a concerned individual who believe the wonders of nature should be protected, Please complete and submit the above link form.

Sincerely

Curt Bowen

Done.

I sure hope this protection does not prohibit or limit future cave diver access...

One more vote here.

In my next vacation I'm going to take cavern and intro to cave course in Mexico.

Hope to be able to dive in Abaco in a near future.

Regards,
Andres

Who's to say this "protection" won't bar cave divers from these sites? I can think of quite a few places in FL where this is the case.

The protection policies are being written to protect the caves from surface pollution and heavy construction. (only within this small zone)
They are also being written to promote tourism and trained diver access.
