Well done. But just what are we actually doing to help a part of the North Atlantic ocean that includes about a third of the entire area between the Bahamas and Africa? Hopefully, we will match that commitment for the protection of our own dwindling mangroves which are of immediate and huge value to the health of our own island and reef system. Watching them being bulldozed along the entire inside of Seven mile beach is heartbreaking. Our addiction to money over health and well being is very short sighted.

I understood gvt was still investigating this plan to protect the waters around Bermuda indefinitely. We owe this to our children and the world.
