The latest Andros Conservancy and Trust (Ancat) newsletter is available online.

The new issue features an article titled, “Drilling for oil in The Bahamas: Is it worth the risks?”, with an interesting and unexpected quote in the sidebar:

“I’d put my money on wind and solar energy. What a source of power!! I hope we don’t wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” – Thomas Edison 1931

The newsletter reports that the Living Ocean Foundation’s Global Reef Expedition is continuing its study in The Bahamas during October, when they will be anchoring off from Andros island and then going on to Abaco. Read more about that in the newsletter.

There is an informative article about the Kirtand Warbler, a rare and shy little songbird that visits The
Bahamas for eight months during the winter to find a place to rest and fatten up for the 1,500 mile flight north in the Spring.

There are a number of other interesting features, including a report on the succss of the ANCAT Summer School programme.

All in all, the newsletter makes for informative and enjoyable reading.
