Blocking mangroves
Ten years ago, a foreign developer was allowed to destroy thousands of acres of mangrove forest in North Bimini without needing any special permit from the government to do so. Today, concerned Bahamians trying to regrow these rare and vital natural resources, are being blocked by the powers that be, and told they need a permit. It really is the height of irony.

Why Moncur job is very dangerous
The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has circled the wagon around the gaffe-prone Rodney Moncur. His appointment in the Ministry of National Security as a violence interrupter suggests to this writer that the hierarchy of the PLP government believes that Moncur is one of them, despite his flirtation with the Free National Movement (FNM) in 2016, when he was appointed to the Senate by Loretta Butler-Turner.
