Long Island is one of the Bahamian "Family Islands" or "Out Islands," and it has a population of about 4,000 inhabitants. The north end of the island lies ATLANTICOCEAN about 270 km southeast Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, located on New Providence Island (Figure 1 ). Life on scenic Long Island is tranquil and community oriented. The island has a past history of salt production by the now defunct Diamond Salt Company. Sponging still operates on a small scale, and tourism and its related activities is growing. Originally named Fernandina by Christopher Columbus, in honor of his Spanish king mentor, the island takes its present name O kllom eters 20 from its geographic form. It truly is a long island, extending for about 120 km in length, but with a width of no more than 7 km at the widest Figure 2. Overview map of Long Island. The Tropic point (Figure 2).
