Sunscreen and Coral Reefs in the VI

May 23, 2019

Call me an optimist, but I’ve always believed that people are inherently good and want to do the right thing when they are informed and educated. In today’s world we are bombarded with information, much of it conflicting and that can lead to confusion and complacency. Having lived through the catastrophic Hurricane season of 2017 […]

Earth Day on St Croix: 5 Ways to Make a Difference

April 22, 2019

Every Day is Earth Day on St Croix

Born in 1970 (like me!) Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22nd. Things have come a long way since I was a child, but with the effects of climate change becoming more and more evident, there is still a long way to go in helping Mother Earth. Here on St Croix where its […]

St Croix Summer Lovin: Sea Turtle Nesting Season

June 14, 2017

Sea Turtle Nesting Season on St Croix

Summer on St Croix means that things slow down just a little, mangoes are dripping from the trees and sea turtles are getting frisky off shore. It’s sea turtle nesting season. Three out of 7 species of endangered sea turtles can be found nesting on our shores in the summer and early fall: Leatherback, Green […]

Best Snorkeling on St Croix and the Virgin Islands

May 24, 2016

Best Snorkeling St Croix Virgin Islands

Part of the allure of St Croix and the US Virgin Islands is the underwater marine life abundant off of our shores. You don’t have to be a certified PADI Scuba diver to experience these wonders. The Virgin Islands are surrounded by coral reefs that can be explored by snorkeling. Teeming with life, St Croix […]

Humpback Whale Migration in the US Virgin Islands

March 11, 2016

Humpback Whales of the Caribbean

Having moved to the Virgin Islands myself in order to avoid chilly New England winters, I completely understand the draw for snowbirds (winter island residents). There’s a strong connection between St Croix and the New England area. Enjoy a meal at Duggan’s Reef Restaurant with all of the Massachusetts college and university pennants lining the […]

Sunscreens a Threat to Coral Reefs

October 21, 2015

Three-quarters of St Croix is surrounded by the largest living barrier reef in the Caribbean. And then we have the incredible reefs just off shore surrounding Buck Reef National Monument. These reefs provide homes for a myriad of plants and animals, including the colorful fish we love to see snorkeling and endangered sea turtles. Our community […]

Alien Invaders :: Lionfish, Alien Predators of the Reef

January 5, 2012

Invasive. Poisonous. Devastating. Got your attention didn’t I?! Well these aliens in our waters are no joke. Lionfish are native to Indo-Pacific  waters where they are kept in check by their natural environment and predators like grouper who are familiar with hunting them over thousands of years. However, here in the Caribbean, they are a new […]

My Absolutely Bio-rific Week

August 26, 2011

Avatar's Bioluminescent Forest

Last week I took the plunge and conquered my fears and after 10 years of SCUBA diving, I experienced a night dive.  What drew me in finally was the possibility of witnessing the coral spawning.  I’m still not sure if I saw it, but what I did experience was something surreal and out of this […]
