Blue Holes of Abaco
Abaco’s blue holes are cultural, historical and biological treasures. More research is constantly being done to increase our understanding of the importance of these ecosystems. Since the discovery of a fossil tortoise shell and a crocodile skull in Sawmill Sink in 2004, national and international attention has been brought to Abaco’s blue holes and caves.
Currently, there is no formal conservation plan for Abaco’s blue holes. FRIENDS has recently partnered with Bahamas Caves Research Foundation, Antiquities Monuments & Museums Corporation (AMMC) and The Bahamas National Trust to investigate some form of protection. The community will be consulted through all phases of the process. If you’re interested in learning more about this project, or would like to have some thoughts passed along let us know! info@friendsoftheenvironment.org
