  • Save Guana Cay Ree Association Ltd and Others V the Queen and Others
    [2009] UKPC 44 Privy Council Appeal No 0013 of 2009 JUDGMENT Save Guana Cay Reef Association Ltd and others v The Queen and others From the Court of Appeal, Bahamas before Lord Hope Lord Scott Lord Rodger Lord Walker Lord Collins JUDGMENT DELIVERED ON 17 November 2009 Heard on 7, 8, and 9 July 2009 Page 1 Appellant Respondent Ruth Jordan (Instructed by Simons James Dingemans QC Muirhead & Burton) Tom Poole (Instructed by Charles Russell LLP) Hugh Small QC Robert Adam (Instructed by Latham & Watkins) Page 2 LORD WALKER Introduction 1. This appeal is concerned with an attempt to halt a large-scale development of the north-west part of Great Guana Cay (“the Cay”), an island north of Great Abaco on the northern edge of the Bahamas archipelago. In the course of the litigation some additional issues, including an issue as to apparent judicial bias, have arisen. 2. The Bahamas are known throughout the world for their natural beauty. It is also well known that their rich natural resources, and especially their coral reefs, are at risk from indiscriminate development. There is an admirable explanation of the background to this appeal in the judgment of the Rt Honourable Dame Joan Sawyer, the President of the Court of Appeal, which I gratefully adopt (paras 11 to 13): “The Bahamas is a country of 701 islands, cays and reefs which stretches in an arc from approximately 58 miles southeast of the east coast of Florida in the United States of America to just north of Hispaniola. It is separated from Florida by the Gulf Stream and from the Greater Antilles by the Old Bahama Channel.

Consistent with a long history going back to the colonial era, these development trends are being driven by external factors - including the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, a scarcity of affordable waterfront land in North America, and shifting travel preferences post- 9/11.

  • Additional Observations on the Birds of the Exumas, Bahama Islands.-The Avifauna of the Exumas Has Been Recently Reviewed by Buden (1992) Who Listed 125 Species
    Wilson Bull., 105(3), 1993, pp. 514-518 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS Additional observations on the birds of the Exumas, Bahama Islands.-The avifauna of the Exumas has been recently reviewed by Buden (1992) who listed 125 species. The present study covers 51 species, adding ten nonbreeding visitors new to the list (indicated by *) breeding records for 11, including the first for the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and American Oystercatcher (Huernatopus ostrulegus) in the Exumas, new late dates for migrants, and new locality records for poorly known species. This report is based largely on observations by R. Sutherland (RS) during 30 March-2 May 1988 and 13 March-3 May 1992, and A. Spnmt (AS) who spent 19 days visiting islands throughout the chain during 17-19 May 1979, 17-20 May 1981, 12-27 May 1983, 17-19 May 1984, 10-19 and 24-27 May 1985, 9-12 and 22-23 May 1986, 24-28 January and 2-4 February 1988, 6-l 1 and 19-20 May 1988, 18-20 August 1989, 11-18 and 25-26 May 1991, and 9-12 May 1992. Information on previously reported records is from Buden (1992) unless stated otherwise. The islands mentioned in this report that are not identified as to location in the species accounts or in Budens’ (1992) map are Lobster Cay (between Highbome Cay and Normans’ Cay), Saddle Cays (south of Cistern Cay), White Bay Cay (between Waderick Wells Cay and Halls Pond Cay), South Sandy Cay (west of Big Majors’ Spot), South Gaulin Cay (between Bitter Guana Cay and Great Guana Cay), Big Farmers’ Cay (southeast of Little Farmers’ Cay), Big Galliot Cay (south of Big Farmers’ Cay), Little Darby Island, Salt Cay, and Lignum Vitae Cay (all just east of Darby Island), Square Rock Cay and Glass Cay (off the northeastern coast of Great Exuma), and Channel Cay (off the east-central coast of Great Exuma, NE Moss Town, and not to be confused with Channel Cays near Rocky Dundas).

  • Supreme Court Rules for Baker's
    VOLUME 14, NUMBER 20, OCTOBER 15th, 2006 Supreme Court Rules for Baker’s Bay Construction Will Resume Immediately On October 12 the Baker’s Bay Golf and Ocean Club won its Supreme Court Abaco Farms Are Showcased battle against opponents of the develop- ment. As a result, The Bahamas’ marina and golf community will immediately re- sume development of its environmentally sensitive master plan on Great Guana Cay. Responding to this decision, Mike Meldman, Chairman and CEO of Discov- ery Land Company, the developers of Baker’s Bay said he was satisfied and de- lighted with but not surprised by the Su- preme Court decision. “It has been a long wait and a hard fight but we remained committed to the Baker’s Bay project and to The Bahamas. We were always confident that the outcome would be favorable. We fully expected that the truth would be recognized and justice would be served. The truth, of course, is that the Baker’s Bay project has abided by the laws of The Bahamas in all of our dealings and that we have consulted and respected the views of the people of Great Guana Cay and Abaco and will continue to do so,” Mr. Meldman said. Mr. Meldman said he was pleased that Agriculture ministers attending the Caribbean Week of Agriculture met in Nassau for their sixth annual conference. In concluding the Baker’s Bay could now proceed with its conference the group visited Abaco to see a variety of agricultural projects underway. They visited the Abaco Big Bird poultry farm plans to build a resort community that will and processing plant, Sawyer’s Farm growing vegetables, the sod farm, Marsh Harbour Exporter/Importer crawfish processing attract homeowners and visitors who re- plant and the neem farm.

Box 249118, Coral Gables, FL 33124, USA 2 Office of the Dean, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, College of The Bahamas, Oakes Field Campus, P.O. Box N4219, Nassau, Bahamas ABSTRACT Coastal fisheries in The Bahamas face a variety of threats from over-fishing, loss of near shore habitats, changing water quality and possibly invasive species. The lack of quantitative historical data and fisheries independent information makes change detection for individual species and fish assemblages difficult. This research documents reference conditions for fish assemblages based on island-to-island and habitat specific surveys. A synoptic survey method was used to: a) character- ize fish fauna, b) evaluate reference conditions, and c) look at intra and inter-island and habitat-specific relationships to es- tablish indicators to detect changes over time throughout the archipelago. Roving diver visual surveys were used to gather fish abundance data from four large islands (Andros, New Providence, Abaco and Great Exuma), and from specific sites and habitats around a small cay (Great Guana Cay, Abacos). Four characteristics were evaluated from these surveys: 1) the ecological similarity between islands and between habitats, 2) rank-order abundance for the top 65 species, 3) rank-order abundance of indicator species, and 4) the proportion of species in trophic guilds in specific habitats.
