  • Cancun, Mexico has exploded as a tourist destination with hotels, condos and entertainment following. This has come at a cost for the mangroves as they are continually cleared out and those that remain are heavily polluted. Some fear it is only a matter of time before Eleuthera will be "discovered" by the vacationing public and major developments will follow. Lemon sharks depend on mangroves for the survival of the first 5-8 years of their lives. Mangroves are disappearing throughout the world and the fate of the lemon shark is left in the balance. We need to get proper protections for the world's mangroves and then enforce them.
