In August 2008, ISLANDS managing editor Chris Tauber visited Green Turtle Cay, nestled in the Abaco Islands in the outskirts of the Bahamas.

Based at the Green Turtle Club and Marina, he discovered the quiet beaches, explored the intriguing town of New Plymouth and, of course, ordered the famed Goombay Smash.

Overall, the island is an inviting destination for families looking for that ideal balance of accessibility and authenticity. Find out more in the upcoming November 2008 issue of ISLANDS. In the meantime, watch a video enclosed of Chris' trip...

According to Discovery.com "Divers exploring a water-filled sinkhole in the Bahama Islands recently recovered one of the world's largest and most pristinely preserved collections of animal and plant
fossils  from a tropical island.

Like a time machine, the fossils reveal in stages what ecosystems were like on the island of Abaco from periods between 12,000 to 1,000 years ago.

"Their ultra-high quality of preservation puts the fossils in a category all their own," David Steadman, who led the project and is curator of ornithology at the Florida Museum of Natural History , told Discovery News..."

The Wild Horses of Abaco - Oct 22, 2007 - 4:36:19 PM
WHAeatpalmsSm.jpg
For years the wild horses of Abaco were thought to be a myth.  Animals about whom many stories were told but which were extinct.  Actually, the Wild Horses of Abaco are still clinging to a precarious existence on a Preserve in the pine forests of Abaco.

While there are other horses scattered throughout The Bahamas; carriage horses in Nassau, a herd of domestic horses running free on Eleuthera among others, the Abaco Barbs appear to be the only horses in the Bahamas, in fact in the world, with their particular genetic makeup...

Cave diving in the Bahamas has yielded some ancient finds -- from a 3,000-year-old Cuban crocodile to the shell of a long-extinct tortoise. Cave diving instructor Brian Kakuk was guiding a diver in a blue hole south of Marsh Harbour a few years back when he spotted what appeared to be a turtle shell buried in the sediment about 60 feet deep...

Harbour Island, Heavenly hideaway in The Bahamas - Mar 5, 2007 - 3:11:01 PM

"After rinsing the pale pink sand from her feet and those of her two towheaded toddlers with water from a coconut-shell ladle, the tall tanned blonde in the fluttering ochre pareu and Gucci glasses barely broke stride as she registered the face of one of the world's most famous rockers, who was sitting on the terrace at Sip Sip restaurant. Mick Jagger might have been enjoying a lobster quesadilla and a beer out front, but on Harbour Island he's safe from gawkers and autograph seekers."

Teens Study Dolphins & Whales of Abaco Island - Mar 11, 2006 - 12:09:39 PM

dolphins-swimmingphin.jpg
Spend ten days in the Bahamas tracking and monitoring whales and dolphins to help conserve these animals globally and locally.

Marine scientist Diane Claridge and acoustic scientist Charlotte Dunn (both of Bahamas Marine Mammal Survey) are studying whales and dolphins in this area to find out how many live there, where they live, and whether we can track individuals using their vocalizations. This information will contribute to a conservation and management plan for the area, and will provide data on deep-diving whales that are most vulnerable to military sonars.
