We as Bahamians are the most vulnerable to climate change. We are climate change refugees. I know that’s a loaded statement, but we are directly affected by climate change and its effects on coral reef health and weather patterns.
Oil will take away our ocean and without it, I’m not sure who we would be as a people. We would be dysfunctional, flavorless, colorless and lost—just like the planet would be without its ocean.
Even if you just love sitting on the beach with a drink or going boating on Sundays, it wouldn’t be the same if those Bahama blues were black. There is no life in oil and when there is a spill, it will take away life.
