New Providence, Bahamas – Maureen A. Sedonaen once wrote, “Youth

Kristman Moss, 15 and Wadainya Weinburger – all students of the Central
Eleuthera High School recently gave their strong endorsement of, and

BNT asks for Bahamians to stand for protection of Lighthouse Point - Sep 3, 2018 - 10:13:49 AM
Eleuthera, named ‘Freedom’ - world famous for its naturally beautiful
beaches - is in danger of having Lighthouse Point, perhaps the most
significant undeveloped area left on the island, commercially developed
as a cruise port by Disney Cruise Line. If the proposed development is
allowed to move forward, Eleutherans believe that access to this sacred
ground will eventually be blocked for locals, and that its rural,
untouched beauty will be replaced by over-crowded beaches, large cruise
ships, and infrastructure to support thousands of visitors on a regular
basis...
