  • WED LIKE a CELEBRITY on a DREAM LOCALE in the BAHAMAS Bahamas Contest Provides Chance for Couples to Say “I Do’S” Celebrity Style
    WED LIKE A CELEBRITY ON A DREAM LOCALE IN THE BAHAMAS Bahamas contest provides chance for couples to say “I Do’s” celebrity style FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (May 19, 2014) - Sixteen engaged couples are being offered the chance of a lifetime to exchange wedding vows celebrity style in The Islands Of The Bahamas. Through The Bahamas' 16 Islands 16 Weddings competition, 16 lucky couples can win the opportunity to join celebrities - such as former Masters champion Adam Scott - who over the years have made The Bahamas their dream locale for tying the knot. Scott created a buzz over the weekend when it was revealed that he was the latest celebrity to wed in The Bahamas, exchanging “I do’s” with longtime girlfriend, Marie Kojzar. The list of recent Bahamas wedding celebrities include Mariah Carey and Nick Canon, who were married on Eleuthera in 2008 and Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden in 2010. Also, reportedly, Johnny Depp is planning upcoming nuptials at his private retreat in Exuma, Bahamas. Freda Malcolm, ‘Director of Romance’ for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, said, “people of all walks of life, including celebrated personalities are drawn to The Islands Of The Bahamas for picture-perfect weddings. The setting really does it,” she said. “You place two people who are in love into an idyllic environment with blue sky, blue seas and a sandy beach, and good things happen. With the right planning, it’s very hard to beat a Bahamas destination wedding." To date over two thousand couples have signed up for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism's major destination wedding contest, now in its last few weeks.

    UNIQUE EXUMA - BAHAMAS Prix : nous consulter Réf. XS11125 www.poncet-poncet.com Exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s International UNIQUE EXUMA - BAHAMAS Réf. XS11125 Private Island This island is a very special one: it lies in one of the most beautiful parts of the Bahamas and boasts white sandy beaches and the potential for an airstrip. It has all the basic essentials for development. It is situated very near well-known island resorts and existing airstrips. Big Darby Island is located about 95 miles from Nassau, 14 miles from Great Exuma and 250 miles from Miami. It lies almost in the centre of the chain of some 360 islands known as the Exuma Cays -the yachting, sailing and fishing paradise of the Bahamas. The nearest islands are Rudder Cut Cay (with airstrip) and Musha Cay, both owned by illusionist David Copperfield. This island is surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters and features several white sandy beaches -in all approx. 21,650 ft. of water frontage. The highest elevation is approx. 80 ft. which is exceptionally high for the Bahamas. The island can support a 3,000 ft. to 5,000 ft. runway and is adjacent to a deep protected natural harbour. An imposing 7,000-square-foot castle built by an Englishman, Sir Baxter, in 1938 is located on the island. The castle could be rebuilt into a spectacular home or clubhouse. A survey of a proposed development plan is available. A network of paths and walkways extends in southerly and westerly directions for a distance of 1.8 miles. This is a great opportunity to own a large island island in The Exuma Cays.

That population has flourished, despite the presence of invasive rats, and numbered > 300 individuals by the mid-1990s. We conducted a mark-recapture study of this population from May 2002 through May 2013 to quantify growth, demography, and plasticity in coloration. The iguanas from Bush Hill Cay were shown to reach larger sizes than the source population. Males were larger than females, and mature sizes were reached in approximately four years. Although the sex ratio was balanced in the mid-1990s, it was heavily female-biased throughout our study. Juveniles were rare, presumably due to predation by rats and possibly cannibalism.
