Byer3 INTRODUCTION There has been a recent surge of interest in the biogeography of archipelagoes owing to a reinterpretation of classical concepts of evolution of insular populations, factors controlling numbers of species on islands, and the dynamics of inter-island dispersal. The literature on these subjects is rapidly accumulating; general reviews are presented by Mayr (1963) , and Baker and Stebbins (1965) . Carlquist (1965, 1974), Preston (1962 a, b), ~ac~rthurand Wilson (1963, 1967) , MacArthur et al. (1973) , Hamilton and Rubinoff (1963, 1967), Hamilton et al.

  • Explore the British Virgin Islands
    JUST ENOUGH bCHARTERl u • BROKEewaterRAGE • TRAINING • CREW • MANAGEMENT As a yacht charter destination, the BVIs are almost impossible to beat, with over 50 pretty islands scattered like lush gems across the turquoise sea. The islands are located within a short distance of each other, making cruising effortless, and the BVIs offer a multitude of stunning anchorages as well as glamorous superyacht marinas. Providing excellent shelter and calm, crystal clear seas, the BVIs also receive the Caribbean trade winds, making the archipelago a famously good sailing ground as well as a great place for thrilling water sports like kitesurfing. On a BVIs yacht charter, there is something for everyone. Dive the wreck of the HMS Rhone off Salt Beach, one of the great dives of the Caribbean, or snorkel through the Virgin Gorda Baths, where huge granite boulders create a glimmering playground of sapphire lagoons and ethereal grottos. Hike up to Virgin Gorda Peak for breath-taking views of the archipelago, or horse ride along a beach in Tortola, coconuts washing up on the shore. Strap on your dive tank and make your way along the unforgettable Wreck Alley, where airplanes and boats have been submerged for divers, or just drink coconuts and read books in a hammock in dreamy Trunk Bay. The BVIs are incredibly, deeply peaceful, with no Jet Skis allowed to break the tranquil vibe of lapping sea and afternoon breezes. On the glorious coral atoll of Anegada, explore the 16 miles of powder soft beaches, and watch flamingos stalk across the flats, bright pink against sand and sky.

Fish traps, Artificial Fish Reefs and Fish Attracting Devices have been deployed around the Virgin Islands. Mariners should exercise caution when transiting the area. This would avoid fish traps getting lost and engaging in “ghost fishing” and go a long way in fisheries conservation. General Fishing activities are on the increase in the waters surrounding the Virgin Islands especially to the North of Tortola and Jost Van Dyke. When navigating in coastal waters of the Virgin Islands, Mariners should exercise caution in areas where fishing vessels may operate. Many of these fishing vessels use trolling lines which frequently extend to a considerable distance from the vessel and may be difficult to see. Also the shoal banks to the North of Tortola are frequently used to set fish traps and lobster pots in season. Mariners should give a wide berth to these shoals to avoid entanglement with the fishing gear. Additionally artificial reefs have been constructed in various locations that may not be suitable for surface navigation or anchoring. Further, Fish Attracting Devices (FAD’s) have been placed around Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and Anegada Islands.

  • 8 Day Itinerary Suggestion in the Bvis, from Beef Island to Beef Island, Tortola the Virgin Islands…
    8 Day Itinerary Suggestion in the BVIs, from Beef Island to Beef Island, Tortola The Virgin Islands… Lush, tropical islands indented with sugar-white beaches and surrounded by deep turquoise seas. Tranquil, get-away-from-it-all islets and bays side by side with the glamour and sophistication of some of the world’s most exclusive resorts and yacht clubs. Is it any wonder that the Caribbean has always been, and still is, one of the most popular cruising grounds in the world? The chain of Caribbean islands sweeps southwards in an arc, creating stepping-stones from Florida to Venezuela. At the northern tip are the Virgin Islands. Comprising some 60 tiny islets and cays, the British islands offer excellent sailing and a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. With short passages between them it’s easy to hop from one island to another comfortably. Here you can moor in horseshoe bays of white sand beaches dotted with palm trees. The water beneath you is so clear that you have the feeling you are literally floating on air.
