One of the most popular Caribbean areas: the BVIs
The islands of the archipelago are among the most popular charter areas in the Caribbean, and the legislators there have been trying for years to preserve its beauty through protected areas or buoy fields. But of course the many thousands of charter sailors also bring environmental pollution with them, be it damage to the seabed from anchoring, garbage or the reckless behavior of some crews towards flora and fauna.
Table of contents of the new environmental guide
In the past few years in particular, there has been a significant increase in environmental awareness, you can tell that the crews want to make their contribution - but not everyone always knows what exactly makes sense. The Tourist Board wants to provide assistance to precisely such visitors with the "BVI Marine Awarness" campaign. The result is a very well-made, comprehensive environmental and nature guide that gives a lot of information about the BVIs, but above all very specific tips for everyday life on board: where and how to anchor and where it is better not to. How to best use buoy fields. How to avoid garbage on board. How to behave properly towards dolphins, whales or turtles, which jellyfish are poisonous and what to do after contact with them and much more.
The approximately 70-page guide is a real eye-catcher and can be viewed free of charge as a PDF here on the Internet or ordered as a printed version.
